Netherlands Sponsored by The Consulate of the Netherlands
Friday, April 22 6:30pm at the Chicago Cultural
Center
Saturday, April 24 10:00pm at Heaven Gallery
This program ranges from ironic video clips to sublime collisions of image and sound and from antropologic explorations of music subcultures to reverse satanism. Images on Music containd a selection of mainly Dutch filmmakers and artists that explicitly deal with music and what it can represent. Apart from the video clip as the most obvious format the artists also delt with sound, music and pop culture in various other ways. Where in mainstream music video the song dominates the images some of the artists in this program treat image and sound as equals in order to achieve real synergy. Other artists focus on the lifestyle, the industy or the dreams that are behind the music and the role music plays in our lives.
