Mijntje and Trijntje, two girls from Zealand, go to Zandvoort beach. On the tram, they are seen by two young men who start flirting with them. Arriving at the beach, the girls decide to go swimming, and they hire a bathing machine. They are so naïve that they put on their bathing costumes over their voluminous underwear. After playing in the water and ducking a little boy who has been splashing them, they come out and start frolicking on the sand. A policeman arrests them for disturbing the peace.
This early comedy feels at times like a documentary, containing spontaneous shots of daily life; on the tram and the beach.
In 1998 Ben Jakober and Yannick Vu collaborated on an obvious remake of Marcel Duchamp’s Roue de Bicyclette, his first “readymade” object. Duchamp combined a bicycle wheel, a fork and a stool to create a machine which served no purpose, subverting accepted norms of art.
Suggesting alternative models for new social and economic systems, SUPERFLEX works appear before us as energy systems, beverages, sculptures, copies, hypnosis sessions, infrastructure, paintings, plant nurseries, contracts, or specifically designed public spaces.
Inspired by the exhibition And Now the Good News, which focusing on the relationship between mass media and art, we prepared horoscope readings based on the chapters of the exhibition. Using the popular astrological language inspired by the effects of the movements of celestial bodies on people, these readings with references to the works in the exhibition make fictional future predictions inspired by the horoscope columns that we read in the newspapers with the desire to receive good news about our day.
