Just delivered: DCDM and DCPs: “COMPASSION AND INCONVENIENCE”
Vika Kirchenbauer & VG Bild Kunst
We were allowed to create the Digital Cinema Distribution Master (DCDM) and the Digital Cinema Packages (DCP) of “COMPASSION AND INCONVENIENCE” for Vika Kirchenbauer for storage at the Bundesarchiv:
COMPASSION AND INCONVENIENCE
Everything that seems self-evident and normal today arose at some point. COMPASSION AND INCONVENIENCE explores the artistic field by historicizing it and proposing a different context of creation than that usually considered. Specifically, the essay-performance video looks at the first public exhibitions of contemporary art in London in the mid-18th century and the events and circumstances that led to them. An often-overlooked welfare institution for “abandoned infants” becomes the starting point for the founding of European art institutions in which private-sector and colonial interests intersect with ideas of charity and the pursuit of sophistication. Historical texts are spoken by a cast whose speaking positions differ from those of the authors of the text sources. The work uses performance to repeat with a difference and thus addresses a complex legacy that is passed on to current actors through the institutionalized structures of art.
