The Artistic Director of KINO DER KUNST has decided to postpone the next edition of KINO DER KUNST until spring 2020. This unique blend of festival and exhibition with films by visual artists is the only one of its kind in the world. Taking place in Munich every two years, it will be held next year as planned with the sensitive issue of “Forbidden Beauty”.
The rescheduling results from the move forward of this year’s Venice Biennale, which is now scheduled for early May 2019. This change prevents many artists from presenting their works at KINO DER KUNST.
At the same time, the postponement of international projects will allow KINO DER KUNST to significantly enhance the content of ZWISCHENSPIEL, the in-house festival held between the main editions. This year, the London-based artist duo Gilbert & George was responsible for its highly successful première. ZWISCHENSPIEL 2019’s high-calibre programme will run into April and present the film series “Dream Time” in the Filmmuseum München as well as Artist Talks with Bjørn Melhus and Anne Imhof in the Pinakothek der Moderne.
