Open Air Kino
in cooperation with Videoart at Midnight

On five evenings at Berlin Art Week’s festival centre BAW Garten, select video works by both emerging and established artists will be screened open air in cooperation with Videoart at Midnight. The works shown will explore issues such as community and collective experience, identity or joint life in the future—perspectives that are also a focus of Gropius Bau’s new director.

On the one hand, the programme presents Videoart at Midnight's long-standing commitment to artists' film and video in Berlin. On the other hand, the programme also refers to the artists' exhibitions at the Berlin Art Week's partner institutions in the city. Mariechen Danz, for example, is this year's winner of the GASAG Prize and is opening her exhibition ‘edge out’ at the Berlinische Galerie during Berlin Art Week, Helena Uambembe was a DAAD scholarship holder in 2023, has lived in Berlin since then and will receive the ars viva Prize 2025 from the Kulturkreis der deutschen Wirtschaft. Lotte Nielsen was a fellow of the Danish Art Foundation at Künstlerhaus Bethanien 2022.

The participating artists have been guests at Videoart at Midnight with their works in recent years or will be in the near future.
