The 6th Berlin Biennale at Kino Arsenal
1.8.2010, 8 pm
KINO ARSENAL, KINO 1, POTSDAMER STRASSE 2, 10785 BERLIN-MITTE
A two-part program of the 6th Berlin Biennale presents works by Friedl vom Gröller (Kubelka) and George Kuchar. Vom Gröller (Kubelka) is a photographer, psychoanalyst and filmmaker. Since the 1960s she has shot filmic portraits that are reminiscent of Warhol's Screen Tests. Yet in contrast to Warhol, she is occasionally also in front of the camera.
Kuchar is a pioneer of underground cinema. Many of his idiosyncratic melodramas have become avant-garde classics, while his video diaries have gone largely unnoticed. Their documentary perspective opens up a level of self-perception that lends depth to Kuchar's melodramatic exuberance.
There will be an introduction by Marc Siegel and Ulrich Ziemons.
The 6th Berlin Biennale will show Passage Briare by vom Gröller (Kubelka) at Oranienplatz 17 and video works by Kuchar, selected by Marc Siegel, at Mehringdamm 28.
