Interview about 'KALENDER' by Benjamin Verdonck. Part of the exhibition Mind the System, Find the Gap (02.06-30.09.2012)

Between 3 January 2009 and 2 January 2010, Benjamin Verdonck performed more than 150 actions throughout Antwerp. These actions related to traditional public holidays, the cycle of the seasons, geopolitical shifts and life as it is. None  was a failure. None  was a success. KALENDER / WIT translates KALENDER for the white cube. After a successful museum presentation at the M HKA in 2010, a selection of these 365 days of actions in the public space  are now on show inside Z33.  Verdonck has opted for a relatively dense 'archival' installation, which reflects the energy of the work. 'Space', as much as 'time', emerges as a structuring element.
Material from the action cycle also formed the basis of a stage show (KALENDER / ZWART - Toneelhuis and KVS) and a future publication.
