Karin Sander’s project 494h 29m 53s comprises 1,254 videos from the Video-Forum collection at the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.), all screened in the Studio at the Akademie der Künste. The videos, created by 574 different artists and artist collectives, will be played one after the other – from the shortest to the longest – in a 494-hour screening. The Studio programme follows a defined structure – with 12-hour screenings on weekdays and 24-hour screenings at the weekend – that will take place over 31 days starting on 3 July.
Founded in 1971 on the initiative of artists and cultural creators, the n.b.k. Video-Forum is the oldest video art collection in Germany, and one of the largest. The collection is particularly focused on the Fluxus art movement, feminist video practice, historical and contemporary video art from Berlin, and media-reflective approaches. The artist Karin Sander has taken the opportunity to restage the collection in its entirety and presents it as “great cinema” at the Akademie.
494h 29m 53s provides an overview of more than 50 years of international video art and presents all the artists equally side by side – regardless of origin, gender, or period of activity. New and unexpected juxtapositions, presented in a unique experience determined by arrangement, sequence and time occur as a result.
Visitors can enter and leave the screenings at any time they choose. A programme booklet provides an orientation with information about the specific artists, videos and schedules. A summer bar at the Akademie der Künste is available for drinks and snacks.
