Open Air Cinema by Videoart at Midnight
For the third time in a row, Videoart at Midnight presents selected artists' films and video works in the Berlin Art Week Garten: on a large screen, in the open air. This year's host is the Hamburger Bahnhof – National Gallery of Contemporary Art.
The program showcases Videoart at Midnight's long-standing commitment to the field of artists' film and video in Berlin. It also references the artists' presence at Berlin Art Week's partner institutions in the city. For example, Jordan Strafer will open her exhibition "DISSONANCE" at Fluentum in Dahlem, and Wendi Yan will participate in the exhibition "LICHTAUS LICHTAN" curated by Anna-Catharina Gebbers at St. Matthew's Church. Cyrill Lachauer will premiere his film "SLACK" in a collaboration between the Berlinische Galerie – Museum of Modern Art and Videoart at Midnight Productions at Babylon Cinema, accompanied by an artist talk between the filmmaker and his main protagonist, Mike Brodie, at the Berlinische Galerie.
The participating artists, most of whom will be present, have exhibited their works at Videoart at Midnight in recent years or will do so in the near future.
Admission is free, everyone is welcome.
