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.

Exhibition

This year the jury has selected fifteen works out of more than 300 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.

 

Golden Cube

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 2016 the Golden Cube went to Lotte Meret for her work "Surface Glaze".

Education

Within the framework of the exhibition Monitoring, an educational program is offered. Judith Waldmann (Head of Monitoring) offers 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. 


Fri / Nov 17 / 6 p.m. / Südflügel (KulturBahnhof)
Sat / Nov 18 / 6 p.m. / Kasseler Kunstverein

An educational program for schools and groups can be supplied. For more information please contact waldmann@kasselerdokfest.de.
