An exhibition of video works by German artists from the 1960s to the present from the Ingrid Oppenheim collection at the Kunstmuseum Bonn
Slought is pleased to announce the first exhibition in the United States of video works from the collection of the Kunstmuseum Bonn, Germany, featuring a selection of German artists from the 1960s to the present including artists Joseph Beuys, Volker Anding, Klaus vom Bruch, Jochen Gerz, Jürgen Klauke, Imi Knoebel, Christof Kohlhöfer, Sigmar Polke, Marcel Odenbach, Carl Otto Paeffgen, and Ulrike Rosenbach.
The exhibition will be on display at Slought from September 26-October 10, 2007 and is curated by professor Dr. Dieter Ronte, Director of the Kunstmuseum Bonn. "Fat, Felt, and Film: A Conversation on Joseph Beuys," a public conversation about Joseph Beuys with Christine Poggi (University of Pennsylvania) and Lisa Saltzman (Bryn Mawr College) will take place on Friday, September 28th, 2007 from 6:30-8:30pm in conjunction with the opening reception.
A special feature of the collection and exhibition program of the Kunstmuseum Bonn is the permanent presentation of international film and video art of the 1960s and 70s. It is founded on the collection amassed by the gallerist Ingrid Oppenheim, who bequeathed to the museum close to 400 works by such video art pioneers as Klaus vom Bruch, Bill Viola and Allan Kaprow, as well as by early feminist video artists, e.g., Ulrike Rosenbach. The exhibition at Slought features in part a selection of works from this larger collection by curator and professor Dr. Dieter Ronte on behalf of the Kunstmuseum Bonn, with a specific focus on contemporary German artists working from the 1960s through to the present.
