MARC SCHEPERS maakt allegorien in de vorm van fotomontages met de beelden die de ons door de media worden aangereikt of opgedrongen. Deze kunstwerken tonen een glimp van het mechanisme wat hierachter schuil gaat. En die ons en de maatschappij bewust en onbewust beinvloeden en emotioneel raken.
FREDERIC BELL maakte geluidsopnames in galeries en museums. En legde zo een geluidsafdruk en document vast van alle hoorbare bewegingen en sounds die zich in deze publiekelijke ruimtes voordeden. De open soundtrack die ieder voor zichzelf kan invullen naargelang zijn eigen ervaringen en fantasie.
In Ruimte Morguen Waalse Kaai 22, 2000 Antwerpen loopt momenteel een tentoonstelling van beide heren. En dit tot 2 december open vrij-zaterdag van 14-18u

Marc Schepers ( fotomontage) - Frederick Bell ( Sound Works )
Fotomontage
We are confronted on a daily basis in the media with images about oppression, terror, tyranny, war, refugees and genocide. This broadening of the visible world and the way it is politicized is responsible for the further development of form and content within the aesthetic experience and how we perceive it. Our aesthetic ability is formed by the sensory experiences that we have with what we perceive and that touch us emotionally. I have processed such images into an allegory which confronts us in another way, by revealing what is unseen behind them.

Sound Works
I made recordings of the sound inside prominent galleries and museums. Effectively this removes the very thing that the visitors are there to see, photograph and talk about. The recordings are of the spaces and the people who go there for a variety of reasons. These may be educational visits, or for the free wifi, to have a selfie with Caravaggio, or to be lost in esoteric contemplation. The soundscapes vary from footsteps in a quiet gallery to something that resembles a busy railway station. It is the sound of a dynamic and unpredictable social space in front of the carefully curated exhibition walls: the sound of people looking.
