Videoart At Midnight

VIDEOART AT MIDNIGHT is an artists’ cinema project that was initially founded in 2008 by Olaf Stüber and the collector Ivo Wessel as a screening series for artists living in Berlin working with film and video. Since then, every month on a Friday at midnight, Videoart at Midnight invites the most important and influential artists of our time to show their work on the big screen of the legendary BABYLON film theatre in the heart of Berlin. Every night is dedicated to one artist who is present. It is their night. The artists often take the chance to celebrate premieres or to present works rarely shown before. They also stage live acts from time to time, including performances, concerts or lectures, which accompany the film and video presentations. The goal of the screenings is to lend insight into contemporary video art production in Berlin’s unique international art scene and to provide artists working with film and video with their own bright platform. Positioned between the city's institutions, such as art associations and museums on the one hand, and artist-run project spaces and initiatives on the other, VIDEOART AT MIDNIGHT fills a gap in the Berlin art world. It is well embraced by artists – both big names and artists we don’t (yet) have on our radar – and warmly appreciated by the audience. VIDEOART AT MIDNIGHT is a private, independent, and non-profit initiative, admission is free.
