We welcome an outside view of the collection and are very interested in new perspectives and refreshing insights into the diversity of the imai video archives. The texts on the works from the invited authors offer information in the form of a commentary, review, explanation of the selection, or presentation of the selected artist.
The series started in October 2011 with a contribution from Laura Györik Costas, Centre d’Art Contemporain Genève about Marina Abramovics Art Must Be Beautiful. Artist Must Be Beautiful (1975). After that, the Frankfurt gallery owner Anita Beckers followed with a text on Jürgen Klaukes Lachen − Weinen (Laughing and Crying) from 1978. Currently the Head of the n.b.k. Video-Forum, Kathrin Becker, presents the American artist Paul Garrin with his work Free Society.
