Vrielynck collection, the Telepathic Place, @ MuHKA, Antwerp

Dear Visual-Media group,
my apologies for the previous message...
here's better context:

I have an exhibition @ MuHKA in Antwerp all summer,
June 7-Sept 9th,
based on a commission to work with the Vrielynck collection of
pre-cinema and cinema material.
If you are in town, you might find it of interest...
here is a link to unified documentation:

and here is a description:

Dear Colleagues.

On the façade of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Antwerp, MuHKA, is a
banner for a 4-dimensional movie: "The Telepathic Place: from the Making
of The Telepathic Motion Picture of THE LOST TRIBES. This movie takes
place in 5 rooms, and combines 22 screens, each with an hour of video,
placed within an active pre- and post-cinema film studio, where are in
play various useful movie objects such as Magic Lanterns, the famous
Lumiere Cinematographe #12, Manchurian Film Projectors imported from
Germany, and various instruments used by narrators and directors of the
Telepathic Cinema…. Including a 15 meter static moving panorama, 75
telepathic paintings, and other amusements associated with the
production of the silent sound film. Here the audience is told and makes
the movie at the same time, while wandering in space for 10 minutes or
two hours… one flexible advantage of a 4 dimensional presentation.

If your geography, time, and interest will permit you, then I would to
invite you to visit the exhibiton of this film, which is playing all
summer [June 7 until Sept 7 2013], 6 days a week, indoors, during
daylight hours.

This exhibition is a project by David Blair, curated by Edwin Carels
(KASK/HoGent), and made in cooperation with MuHKA, using the Museum's
Vrielynck collection of historical cinema apparatus, which the fortunate
Mr. Vrielynck collected during his life as a Notary, and now, after that
life, is a cultural property located in the city of Antwerp.

If you have any questions or requests, please feel free to contact me
