The digital video archive of the Deutscher Künstlerbund was established in the project room in 2007 and is constantly growing: It now comprises about 300 works by more than 100 international artists. In the project room of the Deutscher Künstlerbund a viewing station was set up, which makes the works available to interested visitors with the help of special software based on the »video on demand« system.
In a loose sequence, presentations of the video archive will take place in the »SAMPLE« series, whereby the selection will be made according to different artistic positions. On February 18, 2010 the artists Ute Reeh and Myriam Thyes will focus the presentation »SAMPLE #3« on animated films.
»Animations will be presented in the context of contemporary art. Artistic animated films and animations that are not based on 'stories' are rarely shown in short film festivals. They are usually unsuitable for classical cinema. Approximately since William Kentridge's success at the documenta, animation artists have gradually been conquering media art festivals, exhibitions and the art market. However, many of these highly interesting works of art remain hidden from a larger public.
Many artists who work with animation do not do so exclusively, but come from other media. Sculptors often turn to 3D computer animation, painters create cartoons, many artists discover stop-motion and 2D computer animation, photographers assemble photos into pictorial sequences.
The results are often works between the pictorial and the narrative, they are neither 'short films' nor 'visuals', but form a genre of their own in contemporary art. Such animations, mainly from Germany and from the last 10 years, are shown in the »SAMPLE #3« programme and are intended to stimulate discussion about the possibilities of artistic animated film.«
