During the Second World War, Jonas Mekas fled the Nazis, ending up in New York in 1949, where he became a key figure in experimental cinema. In “Remeniscences” brief and fragmentary impressions of his trip to Lithuania are depicted. He visited his old family home and reunites with his mother and other family members.

It was already summer, we left the village of Flensburg.
Ships were already sailing in the water-meadow, and
on the coastal piers, on the water, under the fishing boats
the warmth flickered.
And when we went on,
on and on, until we reached Glücksburg –
there, children were already splashing around,
wading through the dense forest of reeds.”

“In The Neutronics Greatest Hits, Marroquin takes on the genre of the music video as the carrier of his underlying critique of mass media. Intended as part of the programming for Marroquin’s Amsterdam/New York satellite broadcast called The Link, the work is both a music video and a documentation of a live performance given by the concept band at the Mazzo club in Amsterdam.”

Added information:
in the nineties, during a long period of years discussions were held about whether the UK should leave the EU or not. The Independent published an adapted image of ‘Event’ on Wednesday 13 March 1996 with a glued on comment saying: ‘Prime Minister, how do you feel about a referendum? ….. with apologies to the artist’. The artist was never informed about this second hand use of his photo work he made in 1975.
