CINEPLEX
Selected by Norbert Pfaffenbichler and Lotte Schreiber
Galerie und Grafisches Kabinett
Sep 11 – Nov 8, 2009
Austria has a vibrant experimental film scene. Works in this field are usually presented outside the established exhibition system, but are screened at the relevant international festivals. The Cineplex exhibition ventures to breach the gap between the largely separate spheres of the fine arts and experimental film, transforming the exhibition rooms of the Secession into a kind of multiplex cinema for this purpose. The show features experimental films and videos of recent date that examine the fundamental conditions of the film medium both with regard to technology and history and iconographic and dramaturgical conventions. The authors focus in-depth on the specific aspects of film itself, while quite naturally using the current possibilities of digital production methods.
Norbert Pfaffenbichler, born in Steyr in 1967 and Lotte Schreiber, born in Mürzzuschlag in 1971, live and work in Vienna.
