Monitoring

Monitoring provides a space for film and video-based installations and other time-based media works of recent years that require presentation formats beyond the classic cinema screen. This year, the jury has selected sixteen works out of 314 international submissions. The submissions followed an open call, without pre-set topics or restrictions concerning content or technical media. The works were chosen upon their ability to enfold in a spatial setting and the contemporary relevance of their topics. All works in the exhibition are nominated for the Golden Cube award for the best media installation, which is endowed with 3,500 €. The award is donated by the software company Micromata GmbH.

All works selected for the exhibition Monitoring compete for the Golden Cube, the prize for the best media installation, endowed with 3.500 € and sponsored by the software company Micromata GmbH, located in Kassel.

Next to the “White Cube” of the showroom of contemporary art and the “Black Cube”, the room of film presentation painted black, the “Golden Cube” takes in an in-between position and explicitly promotes the interaction of spatial and audio-visual aspects of media installations. In 2015 the Golden Cube goes to Gerald Schauder for his installation "Skulptur 21".

Within the framework of the exhibition Monitoring, an educational program is offered. Stefan Bast (member of the selection committee and board member of the Kassel Kunstverein) and Beatrix Goffin (Head of Monitoring) offer guided exhibition tours alternating between the Kasseler Kunstverein and the Südflügel at the KulturBahnhof. In a casual atmosphere all visitors are invited to focus on selected art works and discuss their impact.
