EYE on Art x The Unknown Mine Zone presents Johan Grimonprez - Soul of the Ant.Belgian artist Johan Grimonprez previews his new film: SOUNDTRACK TO A COUP D’ÉTAT, which will officially release in 2023. For his research he dived into the archives of the EYE filmmuseum.
Grimonprez started in the mines of the Congo, where he unravels the laden colonial history piece by piece. Next he intriguingly merges politics and biology. From the division and inequality surrounding the mines in Congo he brings us to an array of symbiotic communities: from bee colonies and termites, to the bacteria that Antoni van Leeuwenhoek discovered through his microscope; organisms from which we form a comprehensive ecology.
This EYE on Art evening is made possible in collaboration with Transnatural and features as a part of The Unknown Mine Zone exhibition. The exhibition and subsequent program shows artists, designers and architects who explore alternatives for our future raw mineral, food and material shortages. The exhibition runs from April 18th until the June 6th 2021 in Nieuw Dakota on the NDSM in Amsterdam and continues at Transnatural gallery till 3 September.
