Unstable Media in the 21st Century

Προεπισκόπηση: γράφτηκε πριν από τα εγκαίνια της έκθεσης

One work in this show is a silent video by Christian Marclay that runs for about 11 hours. That is longer than the train from Hamburg to Paris, where its home museum, the Centre Pompidou, is shut for renovation until 2030 anyway.

The Kunsthalle has borrowed some 40 works from the Pompidou's New Media Collection and hung them in eight chapters on how artists have bent screens, sound, computers and sensors since the 1980s. You move between Harun Farocki's four-part video study, Fiona Tan's wall of 150 archive photographs and an installation run by an overclocked computer and a silicone robot.

Plan on time, not just a walk-through: several pieces are films of 15 to 77 minutes. It fills the first floor, atrium and basement of the Galerie der Gegenwart, on the normal museum ticket (€18, under-18s free), with Thursdays open until 21:00.
