Cultural Capital: The Good Life

Screening of Vermeir & Heiremans’ film The Good Life (2009) within the film programme ‘Cultural Capital’ at Argos, centre for audiovisual arts, Brussels
19/10 – 03/11/2024
Opening: 19/10, 17h

In art institutions, both private and subsidised, finances and business are run alongside the creative processes of the artists and the emotional entanglements of the cultural workers. Who are the people who attempt to bridge the gaps between these oppositional forces? Who decides who decides, and how? These four films take a deeper look at the frictions that inevitably arise when these worlds collide, uncovering, not without humour, the peculiar power dynamics and the crooked decision making that govern them.
