Sammlung Goetz | Kino der Kunst

    Isaac Julien

    –

    A still-life of an exquisite landscape, opulent interiors, dancing bodies – with Isaac Julien, a painterly eye accompanies even the most difficult themes. His films beguile the senses and tickle the gray cells at the same time. They are fascinatingly formal compositions, constructed at the edge of the abyss of reality. Julien is the aesthete among today's artists: Every film-still is a painting; every body a sculpture; every movement a dance step. The most important leitmotifs for Isaac Julien – born in London of parents from the Caribbean – are thinly veiled behind the perfection of his filmed tableaux: migration and identity, civilization and colonialism, the confrontation between poor and rich, yesterday and today, mass culture and art history. This is cinema from an artist who films with the eye of a painter.

     

    KINO DER KUNST presents a comprehensive retrospective with feature films, multi-channel works and full-length documentaries. Cinema 1 of the HFF Munich will show Julien´s award-winning film Young Soul Rebels, 1991, the docu-fiction Frantz Fanon, White Mask Black Skin, 1996, the short films The Attendant, 1993, Three, 1999 and Baltimore, 2003, as well as his homage to deceased film pioneer Derek Jarman, Derek, 2008. The Brandhorst Museum will show the six-channel installation WESTERN UNION: Small Boats, 2007, which focuses on Sicily and African boat people; the Goetz Collection will present his reflection on African cinema Fantôme Creole, 2005 on four screens.

    Barbara Kasten. Works

    Sammlung Goetz BASE 103

    Autumn/Winter 2021

    The American artist Barbara Kasten has created an impressive artistic oeuvre over her career spanning from the 1970s to the present. At the center of Kasten’s work are her abstract, geometric color photographs from the 1980s, which explore the interplay of light and dark and afford new spatial experiences. The Sammlung Goetz, which has extensive holdings of works by Kasten, is mounting the artist’s first solo exhibition in Europe in cooperation with the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg. A selection of the extensive retrospective will be on view in the Sammlung Goetz in Munich.
