Potential Estate offers
narrative placement

Potential Estate announces the distribution of The Crying of Potential Estate (Blank Version), a film of murder, money and multiplicity. Against the backdrop of a public auction a lethal plot is being executed. The unsuspecting audience is not only a silent witness. Its role seems bigger.

Potential Estate offers narrative placement: your publicity can become a character in the story. Publicity inserts are available for the Brussels Biennial presentation.

Below you’ll find a list of potential placements. They are identified by lot number. Have a look at them on Youtube.

Who are they?

Potential Estate is a temporary alliance that operates along models of self-organization and participation. This practice is highlighted in a number of Potential Estate activities : cabinets, public events and the present website.

A future ‘residency’ was the key issue around which Potential Estate was initially conceived. After an exploratory mission, Belgium, a small suburban entity in Wisconsin, U.S. – founded by their Belgian and Luxemburg ancestors – had been identified as a possible ‘residential’ site. Rather than setting a target to be realized it became a critical focus for Potential Estate activities.
