“The young French artist Daniel Buren is internationally known for an artistic production that fundamentally questions all the usual ideas about all things artistic. At the Sixth International Exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York, his work was almost consistently boycotted by the great masters of the contemporary avant-garde. Daniel Buren has also written extensively and very theoretically about his work, which people are able to say very little about at first sight. It always repeats the same simple pattern.” These are the first sentences of this short film, broadcast by the Flemish-language Belgian broadcasting Corporation on 20 to May 1971, for the occasion of the second exhibition that Daniel Buren produced for the programme of the Wide White Space Gallery in Antwerp.
