Images against Darkness

Video art from the archive of imai - inter media art institute

28th April – 24th June 2012
KIT – Kunst im Tunnel , Mannesmannufer 1b, 40213 Düsseldorf

The exhibition Images against Darkness (Bilder gegen die Dunkelheit) will highlight a representative selection of video art works from the imai archive for the first time. Imai was founded six years ago in Düsseldorf to take on the extensive video art collection of the Cologne media art agency 235 Media. Since then the works have been stored in the archive and new works have been added. In co-operation with KIT there will now be an opportunity in Düsseldorf to get a look at the impressive works contained in the archive.

A large number of single-channel videos which form the main part of the imai archive and a number of installations give an overview of the development of video art ranging from the early seventies until today. Starting with the video pioneers who in particular came together in the seventies and eighties in the Rhineland area, the exhibition will also introduce new perspectives of this technology-based art form.

We will shortly provide information about the participating artists and the accompanying program of the exhibition.
