Manifesto: Art X Agency, Artist Talk: Julian Rosefeldt

The Goethe-Institut Washington is proud to partner with the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in the scope of the Year of German-American Friendship, and invites you to a special preview of Manifesto: Art x Agency. Berlin-based artist Julian Rosefeldt joins Hirshhorn chief curator Stéphane Aquin for a discussion on the process behind his internationally renowned practice of making visually striking and politically charged multi-channel video installations, including the acclaimed artwork Manifesto. Manifesto, a group exhibition that examines the cultural and historical impact of artistic manifestos from the 20th century to the present day, was organized by the Hirshhorn’s Chief Curator Stéphane Aquin. Comprising more than 100 works of art and ephemera created over a hundred-year period, Manifesto: Art x Agency explores how artists used manifestos to engage with the political and social issues of their time, and how contemporary practices still employ art as a tool in the making of history.​​ The event is FREE and is from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. To RSVP, click here.
