A Secret Understanding is about the elective affinity between art and music. The exhibition brings together a group of rather personal and yet very differently presented films by various international media artists tackling familiar music titles in unfamiliar interpretations. The films that come out of the process are to some extent disconcertingly detached and yet at the same time extremely intimate takes on the musical originals, covering the whole gamut of visual approaches from animation through video sampling to media art. The exhibition thus provides insight into a range of musical styles behind a public veneer of both sentimentality and a touch of irony.

A Secret Understanding features works by Lia and @c, Graham Dolphin, Nick Jordan, Clare Langan, Torsten Lauschman, Erik van Lieshout and Jane and Louise Wilson, amongst others.

The works are presented as a looped programme evolving into the space of the gallery. It was originally produced by Forma in 2007 for an event in Trafalgar Square in London in league with the ICA and has now been adapted for the space of the Kunsthaus Graz as an exhibition in cooperation with the music festival springnine.
