Owen Land. How can you believe anything he says?! - Ausstellung Berlin

Ausstellung Institution KW Institute for Contemporary Art

Die Ausstellung +How can you believe anything he says?!* ist Owen Lands erste Einzelausstellung in Deutschland. Neben Michael Snow, Hollis Frampton und Paul Sharits zählt Owen Land (* 1944) zu den bedeutendsten Vertretern des strukturellen Films, für die die medienspezifischen Eigenschaften des Films im Vordergrund standen: Die Materialität des Mediums, Wahrnehmungsprozesse und die Beziehung von Betrachter und Betrachtetem – also künstlerische Leitsätze, die in den 1960er und 1970er Jahren vor allem in den Bereich der bildenden Kunst Eingang fanden.##The exhibition +How can you believe anything he says?!* is Owen Land’s first solo-exhibition in Germany. Owen Land (born 1944) ranks amongst the most important representatives of the structural film genre, such as Michael Snow, Hollis Frampton and Paul Sharits, for whom the media specific features of film were pivotal: the materiality of the medium, processes of perception and the relationship between the perceiver and the perceived; that is, artistic principles which became particularly crucial for the art of the 1960s and 1970s.
