Sunday is always a good day to catch up on some reading, whether it be in a book, newspaper or something on the net that might have been a little too long or comprehensive to read at your desk during the week. With that, here is my recommendation for some Sunday reading:

A fairly detailed look at Akerman’s new exhibit entitled Chantal Akerman: Moving Through Time and Space, the piece explores Akerman’s desire to expose major issues through dissecting very minor observations of life. Instead of taking on history with a large focus, she turns her camera on the little things that make up society and individual existence and thus creates quiet meditations that are specific but still subversive.

Her new exhibit features films and video installations that take place in Israel, the south (US), New Mexico/Arizona, Eastern Europe and Antwerp. And while these locations couldn’t be more different, Akerman’s style connects them all.

So, takepart, enjoy your Sunday and give a read about what sounds to be a great exhibit!
