In recent years, artists have begun working extensively with the moving image. The variety of forms (videos, installations, film screenings, etc.) and spaces in which these works are presented (galleries, museums, art fairs, etc.) have also become increasingly varied.
Against the background of this development, these workshops seek to unfold the history and challenges of this new genre from the 1960s to the present day. Focusing on case studies of specific artists, exhibitions, and critical texts, participants will also discuss the development of the global art market and its influence and impact on art and exhibition practices, and what role moving images play in this context.
As part of Workshop One, participants will visit the exhibition Amar Kanwar: The Sovereign Forest, which experiments with moving images in space.
Objective and Learning Outcome
Through selected readings, discussions, and hands-on exercises of film analyses, participants will explore questions concerning the presentation of films in different contexts and spatial environments. These activities will delve into the depth and unfold different approaches in this increasing influential presence of moving images in the artistic field.
