Assembly
Agency (founded by Kobe Matthys in 1992) compiles lists of ‘quasi things’, things that raise doubts: are they part of nature or culture, are they subject or object, the consequence of creation or of evolution? The list Agentschap presents at Wiels focuses on the notion of copyright and came about in collaboration with architects, choreographers, film-makers, painters, journalists and lawyers.
The presentation is linked to the Un-Scene exhibition.
