Around Jean Harlez

In 1994 Jean Harlez stops filming and dedicates his art to his "Revised Our Ladies": colourful Madonnas, religiously assembled from photo-montages and found objects, sometimes mechanically driven. Some of his disconcerting ladies will be exhibited in Nova’s foyer, together with the reproduction of a storyboard, as well as a touching story by Marcelle Dumont, a slideshow of set photos and one of the cameras built by Jean Harlez!

Charles Dekeukeleire

In 1947, at the age of 23, Jean Harlez is hired to be assistant to Charles Dekeukeleire, who at that time forsakes his formalistic avant-garde approach from the 1920s for a "technographical" documentary style, while filming and editing himself. Jean Harlez is impressed by this approach, and learns how to make films in an autonomous way.

Marcel Broodthaers

Jean Harlez handled the camera on some of the films from Marcel Broodthaers, this irreducible Belgian artist who marked profoundly contemporary art. Among the fifty or so films between 1957 and 1975 by Broodthaers, Harlez was cameraman on a dozen of them. Maria Gilissen, the artist’s widow, presents together with Jean Harlez, the result of this collaboration.

In addition to this exceptional event, a series of set photographs taken by Maria Gilissen will be exhibited only this February 14 in Nova’s corridor.
