Videoart at Midnight

Videoart at Midnight at Kino Babylon

Videoart at Midnight is an international forum fostering contemporary art, in particular film, new media art and video art. In a monthly program, international artists are invited to show their work in the big cinema hall of the Kino Babylon in the Mitte neighborhood of Berlin, Germany.

Background

[edit]

Videoart at Midnight is a private initiative, founded in 2008 by Olaf Stüber and Ivo Wessel.[1][2][3] Monthly since, always on a Friday at midnight, Stüber invites artists to show their works in the "Dispositif cinema" to put them up for discourse. Every night is dedicated to one artist; the artist is present. It is often the occasion for a premiere of a video work, sometimes accompanied by live acts such as performances, concerts, lectures or artist talks.[4][5]

The aim of the screening series is to offer a forum for Berlin's international art scene and to give an insight into an artist media that is gaining an increasing importance within the contemporary art production.[6][7][8]

Videoart at Midnight is a non-profit cultural program.[9][10]
