BAM's garden and video installation "Garden Game" opened at the 2009 Secret Gardens Festival in Kortrijk, Beglium.

The game is played by local teams of artists and builders who follow emailed rules. A video of the game views the installation as a stage for living: "The Chaotic Rise and Fall of the White Masked Man and Other Common Acts" is on exhibit at the Broelmuseum and a preview may be watched on You Tube - Kanaal van koenmoerman.
