HITTING PUBERTY Anniversary Program

The IMAI—Inter Media Art Institute is celebrating its fifteenth anniversary in 2021 and is thus metaphorically entering puberty. On this occasion, we are presenting fifteen positions from our program that were selected and compiled from recent acquisitions of the past years. Ale Bachlechner, Ji Su Kang-Gatto, Lukas Marxt, Maki Satake, Hedda Schattanik, and Roman Szczesny are showing their own work in relation to historical videos from the IMAI archive that have been inspiring, pioneering, or even trailblazing for their own personal development. Very much in the sense of finding oneself in puberty, this is a way to understand the history of the artists and the foundation growing up together. On top of that, fellow video art distributors Argos in Brussels and Vtape in Toronto +are giving us birthday presents in the form of screening programs inspired by the hot-off-the-press history, the pubescent present and the spectacular future of the Inter Media Art Institute.
