From 1987 until 1988 he worked as a producer/director/editor for ‘Rabotnik TV’, a former pirate TV station broadcasting on Amsterdam cable, which was run entirely by artists. He recently finished his first, experimental feature film: ‘Beyond Index’, which was made with a Chinese cast and crew.

As a polyglot aesthetician, and an associate professor at Coimbra University in Portugal, Jacinto Lageira has been involved in major art-critical activities since the late 1980s, in tandem with his research into aesthetics.

Johann Nowak

Mickey Yang (1988)
The work of Mickey Yang consists of objects, videos and performances that she brings together in installations. For Yang it is important that the public outside the art ‘scene’ should get in touch with art in a nonpretentious way. That is why she is looking for ways to combine materials without value with visual poetry and the absurd. The synergies between the works create interplay between the real world, the artificial world and our collective memory.
Gert Hoogeveen (1955)

In that capacity he is responsible for the Technical care and conservation of the time based media collection of the Stedelijk Museum.
