At the pre­mie­re of the exhi­bi­ti­on A Gorgeous Lie, the per­for­man­ce ​‘ACT OF A CONATIVE SEQUENCE BASE BLOCK I’ was brought.

Bart Janssen wro­te five poems ​‘Narrative — Textures’ in res­pon­se to the book ​‘res­ten van res­ten’ by Leen Van Tichelen. He asked Bart Maris to musi­cally trans­po­se the poems. In the pro­cess, Leen simul­ta­neous­ly drew five dra­wings in spa­ce using 28 blocks.

The epo­ny­mous book ​‘A Gorgeous Lie’ inclu­ded the poems, the sco­re of the musi­cal pie­ce and a let­ter, link in his ​‘Letters to Artists’, by Philippe Van Cauteren. At the pre­mie­re, a sound clip was play­ed fol­lo­wing the per­for­man­ce, with Renee Van Dorpe, daugh­ter of Leen Van Tichelen, rea­ding out Philippe’s letter.
