Michael Dans – When the Water Clouded Over
When the Water Clouded Over is a renowned photography project and photo book by Belgian conceptual artist Michaël Dans. Over two years, he meticulously created and photographed floral still-life installations, ultimately using a darkroom process to let the decaying flowers fade and "come back to life" in striking new forms.
It all began with the photograph of a still life at his grandmother’s home ...
For more than two years, Michaël Dans created and also photographed floral installations from vases, fabrics or wallpapers rummaged or borrowed here and there with a methodology and a concern for detail and staging identical to those of a still-life painter.
And Nature regains its rights in the secrecy of his photo laboratory; with everything then coming back to life ... Flowers are sublimated, whether they are natural or not, with their buds barely open, in full bloom or wilted.
“Allegories of kitsch? Bad taste? Not so sure. Michaël Dans needed tenderness as much as acumen to accompany these old ladies to their final resting place. His sensitivity is reflected in his portrait of them, far removed from the pictures to be found in the catalogues of florists and garden centres, and he offers us armfuls of pictures like the glossy postcards people used to send in the old days, decorated with phrases in golden letters,” writes Xavier Canonne.
Some forty-five compositions will blossom on the walls of the Museum.
Michaël Dans graduated with a painting degree from the ESA Saint-Luc Art School in Liège and his work has been featured in an increasing number of solo and joint exhibitions. Just like the itinerant life he has led, living in turn in Liège, Amsterdam, Helsinki, Berlin, Antwerp ..., Michael Dans expresses himself with techniques as dif- ferent as installation, performance, sculpture, drawing or photograph. This diversity is also to be found in the subjects addressed (death, loneliness, eroticism, childhood, etc.) and the formats used: from the drawing to the giant Mikado including the throwing of seventeen precious stones in a meadow at the time of Kunst & Zwalm. From his beginnings, this eclecticism was an opportunity for him to get away from any type of categorisation and surf with ease through the codes of contemporary art. In this way, Michaël Dans always enrols his artistic proposition in a specific relationship with exhibition contexts (architectural, conceptual, etc.) so that it generates its own relevance. In a subtle and entertaining way, he takes advantage of the different work opportunities he is offered in order to build interventions in a constantly shifting perspective, distracting the onlooker with the art of diversion. On the borderline of objects and attitudes, he creates message-bearing works transmit- ted with the help of a cynical and critical humour on a background of melancholy, introspection and eroticism.
After his studies in the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam, Michael Dans notably exhibited at the Centre National d’Art et du Paysage de Vassivière (France), at the BPS22 in Charleroi, at L’Espace 251 Nord in Liège, at the Galerie Le Sous-sol in Paris, at the Galerie Aliceday in Brussels, at the Zachęta Gallery in Warsaw, at the Quartier 21 in Vienna, at the Wiels in Brussels, at the Virgil de Voldère Gallery in New York, at Le Lieu unique and at the Galeries Lafayette in Nantes, at the Galerie Nadja Vilenne in Liège.

Forecast and horoscope Delphic oracle consulted for reference.
Give or take joining forces with frontline voyeurism and some self-service consideration and ascertainment thrown in for good measure.
Hopefully, headed towards gradual arrival at estimate diagnoses verdict findings score.
Mais quelque grande surprise, challenge and revelation, for creators, organization and audience alike.
Not HOUR, but full-blown DAY, WEEKEND, LiFETiME and ETERNiTY.
Allan Kaprow — Happenings pioneer and inventor of that term — declared time to be a process, substance, medium and artform.
Wolf Vostell once used some sugar, bowl and spoon to demonstrate differences he identified between Allan Kaprow & other’s Happenings, George Maciunas’ Fluxus events and Wolf Vostell’s own Decollage.
Photographic-artist, Hiroshi Sugimoto’s time-lapse exposure etudes of movies on cinema screen, housebuilding and demolition, sea tides, archaeology and other durational procedures.
Expectation, planning, accident, opportunism.
Respect, cooperation, ignoring, avoidance, challenge, testing, competitiveness, opposition.
Perhaps encouraged and at least seemingly spontaneous outbursts of togetherness, support and rivalry amongst participants in historical (or legendary!) events:
Gustav Metzger’s 1966 Destruction in Art Symposium;
the 1968 Azioni Povera fair at Amalfi;
1969’s conceptualism and arte povera group shows, When Attitudes Become Form and Op Losse Schroeven;
Fluxshoe 1972-’73 regional UK touring survey show and festival.
Open-ended, flexible, happilyforeveraftermore, conclusive, definite, finalized, whatever else.
Physical humour.
Total art comedy.
Veriteville.
If only ensuing crime scene forensic evidence clue votive offerings were kept staying behind, whether explained or left as mystery.
Sown and planted, for growth, blossoming, crop, harvest, multiplication, spread, breakout, evolution and general afterlife.
Attempt to imagine, make and use or even be a “Time-Mirror”.
No mere gauge or monitor of time.
But instead truly active generation, supply and control of time — and all that time is, does and causes — then what can happen within time.
Norway, performance art, limitation and setbacks, potential and advantage.
Unfeasibility Study concerned likelihood of progress, effectiveness, consequence or use-value to art, culture and whatever else.
At 1st, I came up with 2 (or rather, 1 & a 1/2!) “manifestos” for their website.
The most overgrown of them, Returning Back Again to the Crime-Scene, Only with a Vengeance this Time Around, For more of the Same or Different addressed cultural practitioners, output, organizations, venues and events becoming rife and epidemic — then, if anything better or some improvement could be necessary, possible, done or happening.
Whilst the briefest, Mission-Impossible Quota Score says just about the same — only a fraction as long.
Also, for the Unfeasibility Study’s catalog, I “defined” chosen works by 14 accepted submission entrants, what else they did otherwise and in general.
Unfeasibility Study’s selection was from an open-call, aimed at emergent artists, recent postgraduates and promising students — in particular, if they dealt with the problematics and context to their work, practice, medium and discipline — by itself and regarding external conditions.
None of them were people, artists or work I self-consciously knew.
Not dissimilar to other undertakings.
Beforehand, I’d written about multiple artists, sometimes at short-notice and occasionally hitherto unknown people.
Only this was far more demanding.
I’d never done more than 1 of those at once.
Until then.
This had to be written within a single weekend, alongside other things, only armed with some background gained from contact and research — reinforced by or backing up me doing my utmost and pushing myself.
Unfeasibility Study included Mimi Norrgren, UK based, expatriate Norwegian, performance artist.
At Unfeasibility Study’s launch event, Mimi Norrgren walked inside a cloth covered and wooden framework — through the outdoors courtyard.
Heres my “definition” of Mimi Norrgren’s exhibited artwork in Unfeasibility Study catalog.
Bird, provokes pondering human concerns of constant vulnerability and desperate need for survival — but also the craving and desire for experience, risk-taking and even danger. Even in this day and age, gender-politics enter the equation, given the author (and heroine or star) is female and young.
Furthermore, only a single still photograph of just 1 scene from Bird is in Unfeasibility Study; no moving image footage, audio or relics.
However, being in black and white as well as fact theres limited material to “go on” serve as reminders that much earlier post and cold war era performance and other work is only “known” from vintage records or even 2nd-hand “reality”.
Additionally, the past / present / future status of live-art is called into question, with cases argued for-and-against.
An important part of Richard Crow’s life and work was his early to mid 1990’s Institution of Rot event venue, at his North London domestic and working space, where he inhabited from between the early 1980’s until 2009.
Richard Crow’s ventures include Institution of Rot appraisals.
Live events.
Such as the 2009 eviction and departure ceremony, festivities, mourning, “wake” or “exorcism”, A Demised Premise.
A readymade housing and property term.
Then, 2013’s A Rotten Corpus, “séance” or “invocation” for the Institution of Rot, at Goldsmiths College, London.
Both involving me.
Another resurrected phoenix arisen from the Institution of Rot’s ashes was Richard Crow’s A Demised Premise dossier and black museum, published in the Dokument, Dispositiv, Deskription, Diskurs, number of OEI anthology, Stockholm, 2011.
1 page is an image of me performing, with my own summed-up impressions and aspects of the Institution of Rot; but ideally both halves should be prelude and sequel, at opposite extreme ends of A Demised Premise.
I sometimes recite this and other works by me, with Crow’s found material, when we perform, record or are filmed.
Earlier, it was released as audio track (with quoted extracts on sleeve) on Richard Crow & Institution of Rot’s 2009 A Demised Premise cd and cassette.
