Die vorliegende Publikation erscheint im Rahmen der Ausstellung “Alexander Kluge. Gärten der Kooperation” im Württembergischen Kunstverein Stuttgart: einer umfassenden Einzelausstellung des Schriftstellers, Filmemachers und Theoretikers Alexander Kluge …

To mark the occasion of Alexander Kluge’s eighty-fifth birthday, the Museum Folkwang is organizing a comprehensive show of the work of the film-maker, writer, philosopher, and artist. The exhibition is an introduction to Kluge’s artistic “pluriverse” and sets out to illustrate his main methods, themes, and conceptual approaches, with the central focus on his filmic collages. The accompanying book picks up on the themes addressed in the exhibition and concentrates on the principle of work collaboration, which is of key importance for Kluge: the process of “thinking together” with academics and artists, such as Thomas Demand, Georg Baselitz, and Ben Lerner. Both the book and the exhibition are being produced in close collaboration with Alexander Kluge. “Alexander Kluge: Pluriverse” is at the Museum Folkwang Essen from 15 September 2017 to 7 January 2018 and at the 21er Haus in Vienna from February to April 2018. With texts by Leslie A. Adelson, Christoph Streckhardt, Richard Langston, Ben Lerner, Alexander Kluge, Anna Fricke, a.o. 24.00 €

Das Werkverzeichnis, das gleichzeitig zur Eröffnung des bisher größten Ausstellungsprojekts des bedeutenden britischen Künstlers und Filmemachers Steve McQueen erschienen ist, bietet einen umfassenden Einblick in sein komplexes und außergewöhnliches Œuvre. Die Ausstellung, die zuerst im Art Institute of Chicago und anschließend in erweiterter Form im Schaulager in Basel zu sehen sein wird, umfasst Installations-, Foto- und Filmarbeiten aus allen Schaffensperioden. Detaillierte Analysen von namhaften Autoren werden das reich bebilderte Werkverzeichnis vervollständigen. In Steve McQueens Arbeiten ist der experimentelle Umgang mit Film stark ausgeprägt. Dazu kommt der Aspekt um das Ausloten der Grenzen zwischen dem Dokumentarischen und dem Erzählerischen, das sich in thematisch hoch differenzierten Werken niederschlägt. Steve McQueen (*1969 in London) wurde bereits mehrfach ausgezeichnet: 1999 erhielt er den Turner Prize, 2008 gewann er mit dem Spielfilm Hunger bei den Filmfestspielen von Cannes die Caméra d'Or. 2009 vertrat er Großbritannien bei der Biennale von Venedig, und 2011 nahm er mit seinem Film Shame am Wettbewerb der Internationalen Filmfestspiele Venedig teil. Sein Hauptdarsteller Michael Fassbender gewann dort die Auszeichnung als bester Schauspieler. Texte von James Rondeau, Okwui Enwezor, Jean Fisher, Georges Didi-Huberman; und ein Interview von Adrian Searle mit dem Künstler.

Jonas Mekas has worked together with Andy Warhol, George Maciunas, John Lennon, and many others. In New York he was an influential figure in the New American Cinema, although he came to film-making relatively late. In 1944 Mekas and his younger brother Adolfas had to flee from the Nazis for copying leaflets. They were interned for eight months in a labour camp in Elmshorn. The Soviet occupation prevented him from returning to his native Lithuania after the war and, classed as a “displaced person”, he lived in DP camps in Wiesbaden and Kassel. Towards the end of 1949 he and his brother emigrated to New York. In his autobiography I Had Nowhere to Go he describes his survival in the camps and his arrival in New York. Mekas tells a universal story, that of an émigré who can never go back, whose loneliness in his new world is emblematic of human existence.
