From the video collection of the Ludwig Forum 21 works have been included in the project of which some will be presented in the exhibition. Videoarchiv The video collection of the Ludwig Forum Laurie Anderson & Julia Hayward, John Baldessari, Chris Burden, Douglas Davis, Terry Fox, Gilbert & George, Joan Jonas, Bruce Nauman, Nam June Paik, Ulrike Rosenbach, Richard Serra It’s already been during the 1970s that the Neue Galerie – Sammlung Ludwig, predecessor of the Ludwig Forum, began collecting video works thus being one of the first institutions that saw the importance of the new media . As opposed to classical museums that opened up for performance and video art rather reluctantly, the Neue Galerie with its conception as a forum had the unique chance to show such works and events. Thanks to this early initiative the Ludwig Forum now has pioneering works of video art in its collection of which a selection will be presented in the exhibition Videoarchiv. During the exhibition period there will be a lecture or artist talk in the Ludwig Forum on every Thursday. Curators, artists and art historians will discuss ground-breaking works and positions from both exhibitions and deal with questions concerning the collection, presentation and reception of video art.
