Bjørn Melhus LIVE ACTION HERO

Feb 11 - Apr 10, 2011
Opening: Thursday, Feb 10, 2011 at 19.30


Parallel to the 61th Berlinale 2011, Haus am Waldsee presents the first comprehensive survey of the German born Norwegian video artist Bjørn Melhus (b.1966). Standing on the shoulders of such giants as Nam June Paik and Bruce Nauman, the internationally acclaimed artist concentrates on the absurd sides of cinema and television.

What’s Up with ... Video Art?

Dieter Daniels
“Video art is dead—long live art! Beauty has depth. History has meaning. Screw the market! Keep the faith!”.(1) The video artist Diana Thater’s rallying cry highlights a paradox: artistic works involving video are permanent features of the numerous biennales, art fairs and gallery openings, and yet the term “video art” is most often used only as a historical category, and the so-called “video artist” seems to belong to an extinct species. The status of video in the fine arts has changed fundamentally since the 80s by comparison with the status of painting, photography and film. The reasons for this change lie, in part, in the technological innovations of the medium. More important, however, is the change in the self-definition of the artists and in the new evaluation of video on the art market.
