Herman Asselberghs: Time Wasted

In this solo exhibition, the Brussels-based artist Herman Asselberghs presents four new works. Time Wasted originates from the educational context of the arts college, more specifically from the film department on the Brussels Saint-Lukas campus of LUCA School of Arts where the artist has been active for over a quarter of a century. What started as an idea of making a documentary feature on campus resulted in three film works in installation form and a publication. The initial focus on similarities and differences between the movie theater and classroom gradually shifted to attention. In these current times of divided attention, finding, losing, and regaining focus can not be taken for granted for neither the student nor the film spectator. The exhibition space, with its multiple screens, simultaneous projections, and mobile visitors, is the ideal place to pay attention to attention.
