Kurt Kren

Center for Contemporary Art Belvedere Wien, Wien

Uneasiness on Film

Kurt Kren (1929-1998) counts among the most significant representatives of the
international film "avant garde". Considered a pathfinder for the structural film
movement, he ruthlessly criticized the crusty social structure of post-war Austria
through his uncompromising artistic demeanor.

Kurt Kren's early experimental films treated form and thematic material of the
medium of film and analyzed perceptual processes so as to render common sights
suffused with subversion.

Collaboration with the Viennese Activists Otto Muehl and Guenter Brus led to a
radicalization of his esthetic and existential positions. Kurt Kren is one of the
few Austrian artists to have attained international cult status during their
lifetime.

The Augarten Atelier accords Kurt Kren his first monographic exhibition in a museum
context and thereby continues its series of exhibitions centered around the classics
of Austrian "avant garde". Focus of the exhibit is on the filmmaker's early work,
including the cinematographic experience of collaboration with his artistic comrades
such as the Vienna Activists. In addition to selected film clips, plans, sketches
and photographs are on display.
