Werkleitz presents the Video Art and Short Film Fest /Facing the
Artwork/. We show 33 filmic works from 18 countries, most of them chosen
from more than 400 applications from all over Europe. The artworks were
selected by an international jury and are presented within six
programmes, which are structured according to different thematic focuses
on the topic of art reception. Additional curated films and artists’
discussions will make the programme complete.
As opening film of /Facing the Artwork/, we screen the documentary-style
movie “Photography” (80:00 min, HU 1972) by the Hungarian director Pál
Zolnay.
The six programmes of the following days are dedicated to the role of
the audience within the system of art, its significance for the artist
and the relation between recipient and artwork.
/Facing the Artwork/ presents artistic positions about the individual
and collective ideas of the recipients concerning the sense and purpose
of art. On the one hand, the programmes deal with the limits of human
perception and the interference between the roles of the artist and the
spectator. On the other hand, they refer to the wide variety of
possibilities to interpret an artwork./Facing the Artwork/ focuses on
the audience. It gets the chance to look at itself – from a distance, at
close range, critically or gently.
The event is funded by the Robert Bosch Stiftung and the Institut für
Auslandsbeziehungen (ifa) and supported by the Hungarian Film Union and
culturtraeger.
Werkleitz is supported by the Federal State of Saxony-Anhalt.
