On the first of June 2014, together with Manus Groenen, I curated a one-day event for Locatie Z consisting of an exhibition, program of lectures, musical performances and a supper with artists, scientists, musicians and a curious audience.
This edition focuses on the allusion to Hollywood, film history and the cinematic in visual art.

The program explores the potential of the subtle reference and the quote – the act of allusion – as an artistic strategy. Hollywood filmmaking is the point of reference for this afternoon of investigations in narrativity, cinematic memory and the blurred lines between fiction and reality. When we tell stories do we inevitably get tangled up in a web of codes and concepts introduced by Hollywood? Do we see life through Hollywood’s eyes?
With contributions by artists Sybren de Boer,Maurice Bogaert, Louise Jacobs, Paul de Mol andJowel de Bruijn, Peter van der Es, film critic Gawie Keyser and professor of film and literary studies dr.Peter Verstraten. Curated by Debbie Broekers enManus Groenen.
