Merlin
Edit Káldor was born in Budapest. At the age of 13 she immigrated with her mother to the United States, where she lived for ten years. She studied literature and drama at Columbia University in New York and theatre at DasArts (the postgraduate performing arts school in Amsterdam).
In Point Blank the purpose of life is explored through the lens of a camera. Here is a quest to investigate our contemporary world: solitude, companionship, suspicion, trust and other themes.
Wim Delvoye

Ernst Museum
Love it or hate it: Wim Delvoye, enfant terrible of the contemporary scene, makes art that demands notice. His provocative works, which make emphatic use of antagonisms, flout conventions and dogmas. His raw honesty and grotesque humour will make you laugh and wonder.

“Talking about painting is like talking about dreams.
All these images, happenings that are obvious and follow one another in an absolutely logical way, become shallow, even fake or simply incomprehensible once I start talking about them.”
