FILM PROGRAM

With the film series Teaching a Plant the Alphabet, the Deutsche Guggenheim presents films by John Baldessari. In the early 1970s, Baldessari created a series of video works which occupy a crucial position in the development of video art. In their experiments with technical and creative means of expression, his videos document the film codes of that era and cancel them at the same time.
Admission: € 5

Walking Forward-Running Past (1971)

PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES

With Orange
With their stories from photo and film, the images of the artist John Baldessari create confusion: tiger in luminous orange, people in bright colors and monster on the sofa. They provide impulses for reflection, storytelling and imitation. With the help of collages and colors – with glowing orange at the center – new stories will come into being and an investigation will be conducted as to why the monster is sitting on the sofa in the first place.
Duration: approx.. 1.5 hours
Admission: € 5
