contemporary art and media
Directors Lounge at the art fairs.
Media art videos, especially non-narrative works, faces a big challenge. Often neglected by the film festival circuit, they remain invisible in the art world, ignored as non-marketable works of no commercial value for the art dealers.
Thus, we’ve established cooperation projects, namely with the C.A.R. (contemporary art ruhr), that present such media art alongside the art fairs in dedicated supporting shows. Presentations that make many unseen and unheard works of art visible while encouraging the often limited dialogue between the art world and the cinematic realm.
