Peter Freund will present a master class on his work in a brief opening statement before the programmed screenings and in short introductions before each individual film. The overarching theme of this dispersed master class will be the use of appropriation (image, text, sound) as an artistic means for investigating the slippery topics of time and historical memory via the decisive yet productive failure of reenactment. An open discussion will follow the screenings.

biografia

Peter Freund is usually working on something else. He writes to avoid making art and makes art to avoid writing. He is a sometimes curator so as to avoid his own work, but usually that inspires him to write or make art. He is co-founder of the Barcelona-based artist collective, Adversorecto, which uses “retraction” as a working method for producing individual and collaborative works. www.peterfreund.art
