Access by appt. only.|5CBPF. 520 Fandangos evening news is a performance in which Titus Muizelaar acts out the TV news. He sits behind a table and provides photos of national and international topics with commentary. His commentary exclusively consists of the words 'blah, blah, blah', as if the news were of no importance. In some cases, the stills are explained by text on the screen, which, for example, gives the viewer the name the person represented. However, when the news is interrupted by commercials or makes place for show biz activity, these items are shown as moving images, including sound. They also last many times longer than Muizelaar's news reports. The balance between important news and entertaining futilities is lost completely. The performance is a parody on the commercialization of television. 538 U-matic NTSC. 541 0 PFA 0750-01-11010.
