The Couch presents: Director’s Commentary

The video series ‘Director’s Commentary’ by The Couch, Het HEM’s editorial and artistic platform, is going offline and into the physical cinema at LAB111.In the Director’s Commentary, artists provide a new layer to a video artwork. Inspired by the special features options on DVDs, we asked artists to record an audio essay, letter, story, or reflection on their own work. They give background information or add new thoughts and ideas. We take away the curatorsplaining and leave art lovers with a new way to contextualise a visual work by listening to the artist’s voice explaining the piece in their own creative way.
