         COURTOIS                                   The group CAP was founded in June 1972 in   with a definite objectivity of presentation.
                                                                                              Aesthetically it might seem like an offshoot of
                                                    Brussels. Its members now are: P. Courtois,
                                                    J. Evrard, J. Lennep, J. Lizene, and J. L. Nyst.
                                                                                              conceptual art, but the attention paid to the
        EVRARD                                      Quickly the group identified its objective with   art object takes it towards different horizons,
                                                                                              even if the object is seen mainly as relaying a
                                                    the use of the term 'relational art' explaining
                                                    that the word 'relation' should be taken in the   message, as a point of communication. The
        LENNEP                                      context of approaching reality, in both senses   group expresses itself through different media:
                                                                                              film, video, cassettes, photographs, kits,
                                                    of the word: liaison and description. Relational
                                                    art is a description of reality, a mental operation   drawings, mouldings using a technique of
        LIZENE                                      in the form of analysis or of structured 'readings'   information 'assemblage' in its largest sense.
