Tjebbe Beekman, Bonus-Malus (2006)
Overview of recently acquired work. Highlights (for me): Lisa Yuskavage, Aernout Mik, Luc Tuymans, Tjebbe Beekman. Raw Footage (2006) by Aernout Mik especially, a video projection on two screens showing surplus material from news footage about the Balkan conflict. It shows the strange normality of war, men goofing to the camera while firing mortars, or men mechanically unpacking shells and arming them. All this with a mostly serene landscape as background. Super.
