The work raises, simultaneously, the question of history and the recuperation of fiction or art for the sake of history, and of history as a subject of art. In the heyday of deconstruction, one often came across the overly simplistic conclusion that all history is fiction, supposedly because history, like fiction, is a narrative arrangement of events, a constructed reality that could, like a work of fiction, have been arranged otherwise. The more interesting question we can explore with <em>Story Generator<\/em> is that of their interplay, of the way they share the rotating space of the work and contribute to its expanding overall effect.<\/p>\n<p>Ana Torfs has invited a writer (Christophe Van Gerrewey), a philosopher (Emiliano Battista) and an artist (Vincent Meessen) to revisit her story machine, &#8220;Story Generator&#8221;, in order to create endless spin-offs.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">09-11 2016<\/span> &#8211;
