Auto Vision: Media Art from Nam June Paik to Pipilotti Rist

Electronic painting, new ways of capturing movement, abstract experimentation with light: The Kunsthalle Bremen holds an outstanding collection of many different media artworks. These include works by Zero pioneer Otto Piene and John Cage’s sound installation Writing through the Essay ‘On the Duty of Civil Disobedience’ (1985/91). Numerous works such as Video Synthesizer (1962/92) and Participation TV Audio (1998/2000) by Nam June Paik, the father of video art, underscore the significance of the collection.

In addition to these leading figures in media art, the Kunsthalle Bremen presents an extensive exhibition from its holdings including pieces by diverse artists which have not been seen for decades. These include works by Peter Campus, Christian Jankowski, Diana Thater, Simon Starling, Bill Viola and Wolf Vostell.
