Once a month, the Berlinische Galerie hosts “Speaking of Video Art”, an exchange in a small group about the current programme of the IBB video space. This series of events offers an open space for anyone interested in discussing films or socio-political questions in the arts and getting to know various artists and authors. Together, we watch selected videos and read short excerpts from essays, theory, fiction or poems in English or German that are connected to the works in terms of content or form. The following discussion leaves room to explore both the discursive threads of the video works andas well as perspectives and questions raised by the group.
In October, we will be watching the third film in Su Yu Hsin’s “Particular Waters” trilogy. In this video, the artist explores the shift from fossil fuel extraction to microelectronics production at the Dresden Gittersee industrial site. Accompanying the film, we will read excerpts from a text by political scientist Olaf Klenke on the microchip industry in the GDR. We will review material from the Robert Havemann Archive of the GDR opposition concerning the protests against the devastating environmental risks posed by the silicon production planned for Gittersee. Using quotations from the book “wild recuperations. material from below. Dissident Stories from the GDR and pOstdeutschland” edited by Suza Husse and Elske Rosenfeld, we will discuss what we can learn today from the environmental protests of the GDR opposition.
Since 2011, the IBB Video Space has been presenting artists who work with time-based media. The programme features works that explore media-related, political and social issues. Particular emphasis is given to marginalised perspectives and to highlighting the impact of power structures.
The series of events is hosted by Louisa Engel, curatorial trainee for education and outreach. The sessions can be attended independently of one another. No preparation is required to take part. Whether you wish to participate actively in the discussion or simply listen, both are equally welcome.
Language: The event will be held in German and English. To facilitate discussion amongst participants, all attendees should have at least a passive understanding of both languages.
Participation free of charge, registration online (activation coming soon)
