"German Video from the Collections of the Kunstmuseum Bonn: Joseph Beuys to Today"
Featuring Volker Anding, Joseph Beuys, Klaus vom Bruch, Jochen Gerz, Jürgen Klauke, Imi Knoebel, Christof Kohlhöfer, Sigmar Polke, Marcel Odenbach, Carl Otto Paeffgen, Ulrike Rosenbach

A special feature of the collection and exhibition program of the Kunstmuseum Bonn is the permanent presentation of international film and video art of the 1960s and 70s. It is founded on the collection amassed by the gallerist Ingrid Oppenheim, who bequeathed to the museum close to 400 works by such video art pioneers as Klaus vom Bruch, Bill Viola and Allan Kaprow, as well as by early feminist video artists, e.g., Ulrike Rosenbach. The exhibition at Slought Foundation features in part a selection of works from this larger collection by curator and professor Dr. Dieter Ronte on behalf of the Kunstmuseum Bonn, with a specific focus on contemporary German artists working from the 1960s through to the present.

Reception: Friday, September 28, 2007 ; 6:30-8:30pm
