Gabriel Lester is a practised poseur and commentator who is completely at home in the world of make-believe. Initially offering his commentaries about films in three-dimensional renderings of complex scenarios, he now works increasingly in film himself. The Boijmans Van Beuningen is presenting his first major retrospective.

The supernatural is not really a subject one can pin down. It’s more about checking its periphery, testing its boundaries, trying to understand what it is that fascinates some artists. David Lillington investigated the phenomenon and spoke to a number of artists about their interest in ghosts, magic and spells.

In 2003 she won Beck’s Futures, but in the Netherlands Rosalind Nashashibi is still relatively unknown. An interview with the acclaimed artist about her interest in filming as a way to creep up on reality.
