40 Years of Video Art in Germany and Hong Kong

Goethe-Institut Hongkong, Hong Kong

Workshop and installation on Digital Heritage

curated by Wulf Herzogenrath

The Goethe-Institut Hongkong, in collaboration with Videotage and Para/Site Art Space, presents an installation of '40 Years of Video Art - Digital Heritage' at the Goethe-Gallery from 2.12.2006 - 15.1.2007. The installation focuses on saving, maintaining and mediating the cultural heritage of Video Art, which has become one of the most influential art forms of the 20th century. The works were shown in Germany earlier at the ZKM Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe and the K21 Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen Dusseldorf before coming to Hong Kong, among them videos by Marina Abramovic, Joseph Beuys, Rebecca Horn, Christian Jankowski, Nam June Paik... etc. Apart from the package curated by Wulf Herzogenrath, Director of Kunsthalle Bremen in Germany, an overview of Hongkong-based video and new media art collective Videotage's own archive from the past 20 years will also be showcased in the installation.

A workshop on the same topic will take place on 2.12.2006 (Sat), when Wulf Herzogenrath will be present to share his experience with the Hong Kong public. Detailed schedule of the workshop will be announced in due course.
