SUE DE BEER IN FLACC

Sue de Beer
In March, Sue de Beer(1973, Massachusetts) will shoot her movie 'the Bauhaus' in the Waterschei mine buildings in Genk. The American film maker lives in New York and Berlin and recently showed her work at the Whitney Biennale and P.S.1/Moma in New York and in Kunst-Werke Berlin. This psychedelic historical film is set at the end of the First World War and is about the Bauhaus Institute and its role in the German revolution. 'the Bauhaus' lasts thirty minutes and will be shown in Los Angeles, Antwerp and Berlin at the end of this year. FLACC is coordinating the process and a private collector will provide financial support. The last evening of the shooting, on Wednesday 28 March, Sue de Beer will give a lecture on 'the Bauhaus' supported by set registrations and stills in FLACC.

CHILDREN'S ART FACTORY 2007

The Children's Art Factory is a project that is organized by Cultuurcentrum Genk and FLACC every year. This spearhead project was created in 2001 and has an increased participation in art forms of underprivileged children and youngsters as its main objective. Starting from their own artistic practice, a dozen artists will work for one week with a group of children in the Children's Art Factory. The artists will introduce the children into their world of thinking and they will create art together. Last year 635 children from Genk participated in the project. The seventh Children's Art Factory will take place from 9 to 13 April 2007. The participating artists are Calogero Burgio, Olga Dengo, Samira El Khadraoui, Charlotte Lybeer, Ives Maes, Bart Van Dijck, Tom Vansant, Loreta Visic, Leon Vranken en Zhané Warren. There will be a viewing on Saturday 14 April in the afternoon, on the occasion of which the week's results will be shown to the children, parents and interested parties.
