SUBJECTIVE PROJECTIONS 2009-2013

With its exhibition platform »Subjective Projections«, the Bielefelder Kunstverein was seeking to accommodate the relevance of moving images and was presenting an artistic video every four weeks via different channels: via a monitor in the building as well as through the website of the Kunstverein. In this way, the Bielefelder Kunstverein sought to be also seen outside of its official opening hours as a site for contemporary art. Curators and critics were invited to suggest a video each for internationally active artists and then to discuss them.
