Werner Herzog

Whitney Museum of American Art, New York

Inimitable filmmaker Werner Herzog, characterized as the 'romantic visionary' of New German Cinema, is best known for his unorthodox approach to capturing authenticity in his films-close encounters with danger and submitting cast members to unusual training, among others-as well as his mixture of fact and fiction, in narrative and documentary films alike. The subject of his work, described as 'an extended essay on the meaning of meaninglessness,' is often the extraordinary qualities of ordinary things around us. For this program, Herzog discusses his particular contributions to the Biennial and his thoughts on contemporary art with co-curators Elisabeth Sussman and Jay Sanders, at 12pm (Image: Hercules Segers, Mountain Gorge Bordered by a Road, c. 1615-30. Contre-epreuve of etching, with oil paint, 6x6 5/16 in. (15.4x16 cm). Collection Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam; on loan from the Rijksacademic van Beeldende Kunsten).
