Vortrag und Filmvorführung
Rosalind Nashashibi
Montag, 2. Juni, 19 Uhr, Aula
Rosalind Nashashibi will be screening a selection of her films with in depth introductions and a following discussion with the audience.
Nashashibi (*1973) is an English artist working in film, sculpture, print and photography. In her films social anthropologies are political questions: how do we work? How do we navigate our own institutions? The questions are approached through examining the archetypal within the everyday or by dropping a mythological event into a real situation. By combining different levels of reality the films seek out the friction created at their borders.
Nashashibi studied in Glasgow School of Arts. She has exhibited internationally over the last decade and has recently had solo exhibitions in New York, Antwerp, Rome and Milan. Nashashibi represented Scotland at the 52nd Venice Biennale, and has shown in Manifesta 7, Sharjah 10 and the 5th Berlin Biennial with Lucy Skaer in their collaboration as Nashashibi/Skaer.
Der Vortrag findet in englischer Sprache statt.

Vortrag und Screening
Mads Brügger: The Ambassador
20. Mai 2014, 19 Uhr, Aula
Mads Brügger will show an Africa stripped of NGOs, Bono, child soldiers and kids with bloated bellies. The kind of people you never see in the documentaries: white businessmen and diplomats, the fat cats in the urban centers, all the people who are in post-colonial Francafrique having a great time. To show this Africa of the affluent, Mads Brügger uses "performative journalism": instead of disguising as a fly on the wall observing neutrally, he dresses for his part and interacts as an agent provocateur. With all the intentions of a journalist to disclose an unnoticed world, he went to CAR as a rich white businessman with diplomatic credentials pursuing all the perks that title brings (like reckless diamond hunts, practicing power misuse) and became a respected member of their society.
Mads Brügger *1972, is a Danish investigative film maker, journalist and TV host. His documentary films have been shown on various film festivals around the world, and 'The Ambassador' was nominated for the Grand Jury prize in the Sundance Film Festival. He is the host of the Danish talk show Den 11.time and the news program Deadline.

Thomas Thiel: On Museum Off Museum
Vortrag Masterstudiengang Kuratieren und Kritik
Thomas Thiel: On Museum Off Museum
Dienstag, 3. Juni 2014, 19 Uhr, Aula
Warum interessieren sich KünstlerInnen wieder verstärkt für das Museum? Welche Rolle spielt dabei der Umgang mit historischen Bildern, Dokumenten und Artefakten? Welchen Einfluss haben künstlerische Interventionen auf Ausstellungskonzepte der Gegenwart? Diesen und anderen Fragen geht der Vortrag am Beispiel des Ausstellungsprojekts »Museum Off Museum« (07. September 2013 – 07. Februar 2014) und vorhergegangenen Präsentationen im Bielefelder Kunstverein nach. Mit einer fragmentarischen Programmstruktur, zwei Ausstellungsperioden, Vorträgen und einem Blog untersuchte »Museum Off Museum« die Aneignung und Erweiterung musealer Praxis, das Museum als Form der künstlerischen Handlung und Reflexionsraum einer globalisierten, medialisierten Welt. Der Vortrag reflektiert das subjektive Potenzial im Umgang mit der Geschichte, wissenschaftlichen Erzähltechniken und ihrer Repräsentation.
Thomas Thiel ist Direktor des Bielefelder Kunstvereins. Er studierte Kulturwissenschaften und Ästhetische Praxis in Hildesheim und Marseille. Er arbeitete für In Between, das offizielle Kunstprojekt der EXPO 2000, und für die Manifesta 4, Europäische Biennale für Zeitgenössische Kunst in Frankfurt am Main. Von 2004 bis 2008 war er Kurator und zuletzt als Leiter des Bereichs Ausstellungen am ZKM, Zentrum für Kunst und Medientechnologie, in Karlsruhe tätig. In Bielefeld kuratierte er Einzelausstellungen mit u. a. Mathieu Kleyebe Abonnenc, David Adamo, Latifa Echakch, Luke Fowler, Dirk Fleischmann, Maryam Jafri, Gabriel Kuri, Maria Loboda, Flo Maak, Gareth Moore, Lili Reynaud-Dewar, Jessica Warboys und Katarina Zdjelar. Seine Themenausstellungen beschäftigten sich mit dem Verhältnis von Kunst und Design (»Beyond Gestaltung«), der Bedeutung diagrammatischer Bilder (»Schaubilder«) oder den Bedingungen des Ausstellens unter globalen Vorzeichen (»Von A nach B, von B nach P«, »Museum Off Museum«). Thomas Thiel ist außerdem Initiator der Ausstellungsreihe »Subjektive Projektionen« (2009-2013), die gegenwärtige Strategien im künstlerischen Film untersuchte und zudem online präsentiert wurde. Er schreibt regelmäßig zu Positionen der Gegenwartskunst und ist Herausgeber zahlreicher Ausstellungspublikationen. Sein Programm für den Bielefelder Kunstverein wurde mit dem ADKV-ART COLOGNE Preis für Kunstvereine 2014 ausgezeichnet.
Der Vortrag findet in englischer Sprache statt.

Why is there again a strong interest among artists in the »museum«? What kind of role are historical images documents, images and artifacts playing? What influence have artistic interventions within museums and on exhibition concepts in the present day? This talk revisits these and other questions of the exhibition »Museum Off Museum« as well as of previous presentations at the Bielefelder Kunstverein. Through a fragmentary program structure, two exhibition periods, lectures and a blog »Museum Off Museum« was investigating in an appropriation and expansion of the museum’s practice, in the museum as an artistic tool as well as a concept for reflection within a global, medialized world. The lecture will reflect on the subjective potential in dealing with history, academic narratives and their representation.
Thomas Thiel is the director of the Bielefelder Kunstverein. He studied Cultural Sciences and Aesthetical Practice in Hildesheim (Germany) and Marseille (France). Thiel worked for In Between, the art project of EXPO 2000 in Hanover and Manifesta 4, European Biennial for Contemporary Art in Frankfurt/Main.

His thematic exhibitions were dealing with the relation of contemporary art and design (»Beyond Gestaltung«), the relevance of diagrammatic images (»Schaubilder«) or the condition of exhibition making within a global context (»Von A nach B, von B nach P«, »Museum Off Museum«). Thomas Thiel initiated the exhibition series »Subjektive Projections« (2009-2013), which presented current strategies in artistic films online. Thomas Thiel writes regularly on contemporary art and is editor of numerous exhibition publications.

Sven Augustijnen: Spectres
Filmvorführung
Sven Augustijnen: Spectres
Dienstag, 13. Mai 2014, 19 Uhr, Aula
Fifty years after his assassination, Patrice Lumumba, Prime Minister of the newly independent Congo, is still haunting Belgium. Through commemorations, encounters and a return visit, a top-ranking Belgian civil servant who was in Élisabethville (from 1966: Lubumbashi) on that tragic day of 17 January 1961 attempts to exorcise the ghosts of the past. To the sound of St John Passion by J.S. Bach, Sven Augustijnens film "Spectres" plunges us into one of the darkest days of the Belgian Congo’s decolonisation. An examination of the biopolitical body, this feature-length film exposes the fine line separating legitimation and historiography and the traumatic question of responsibility and guilt.
Sven Augustijnen *1970, lives and works in Brussels. His films, publications and installations on political, historical and social themes constantly challenge the genre of the documentary, reflecting a wider interest in historiography and a predilection for the nature of storytelling: "Historiography is by no means a natural phenomenon. The way we use stories, images and fiction to construct reality and history fascinates me."
He had recently solo-shows at the Kunsthalle Bern; Wiels, Centre for Contemporary Art, Brussels; de Appel, arts centre, Amsterdam; Malmö Konsthall; Vox, Centre pour l'Image contemporaine, Montréal. Upcoming group-shows include Once Documentary, Camera Austria, Graz; The Unfinished Conversation, The Power Plant, Toronto; Form and Symptom, MuZee, Ostend. Sven Augustijnen is represented by Jan Mot, Brussels/Mexico City and is a founding member of Auguste Orts, Brussels.
Augustijnen will screen his film "Spectres" and a discussion will follow afterwards.

Clemens von Wedemeyer: Casting Memory
Vortrag
Clemens von Wedemeyer: Casting Memory
Mittwoch, 7. Mai 2014, 19 Uhr, Aula
This talk will be about manifest interactions of film and history, focussing on von Wedemeyer’s last multi-film exhibition „The Cast“ Maxxi, Rome (2013) with more references to the feature film installation shown at documenta(13): „Muster“ as well as earlier short films.
Clemens von Wedemeyer was born in 1974 in Göttingen, Germany. The artist creates installations and videos as a spatial form of the essay-film, full of historical references and metaphoric images as if they were documentaries. The linearity of the narrative, however, is often interrupted in order to show the changes and developments within the structures of power that, in his films, are primarily reflected on architecture and social attitudes.
Clemens von Wedemeyer lives and works in Berlin. After studying photography, in 2002 he graduated from the HGB Academy of Visual Arts Leipzig. Solo exhibitions (selected): Kunstverein Braunschweig (2014, upcoming), MAXXI, Rome (2013); The Fourth Wall, St. Paul Gallery, Auckland, Dunedin Public Art Gallery, Dunedin, New Zealand; Paco das Artes, Sao Paolo (2012), The Repetition Festival Show, Galleria Civica Trento, Trento (2011); Sun Cinema, Galerie Jocelyn Wolff, Paris (2011), Metropolis, Report from China, FrankfurterKunstverein, Frankfurt (2011). Group exhibitions (selected): dOCUMENTA (13), Kassel (2012) Intense Proximity, La Triennale Paris, Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2012); Eurasia: Geographic cross-overs in art, MART, Rovereto (2008), 4th Biennial of Contemporary Art, Berlin (2006), Moscow Biennial, 2005
