ON SCREEN: MUSIC OF THE FUTURE – HOW CLASSICAL MUSIC IS REINVENTING ITSELF. 21.08.2022, 7.10 p.m, 3Sat 

Opera and classical concerts are out. Audience numbers have been declining for years. Young audiences simply don’t want to hear anything more about classical music.

A Bottega Berlin production for Neue Zürcher Zeitung / SRF / 3Sat. 30 min

ON SCREEN: REMBRANDT, HABIBI!, 3sat Kulturzeit, 06.05.2021, 19.00pm

In her podcast “Rembrandt, habibi,” which is well worth listening to, journalist Amina Aziz examines the Dutch Baroque painter and his contemporaries from a postcolonial perspective. Together with her, we visit the exhibition “Rembrandt’s Orient” to look at the art of the beloved painter and his contemporaries with irreverence, rather than reverence, for a change. For Rembrandt and his colleagues, artists at the center of a brutally expanding colonial regime, created a strange, fictional image of the Orient with their paintings. How should, how must we deal with it today? A Bottega Berlin production for 3sat Kulturzeit.

IN PRODUCTION: CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE ARTS – A CULTURAL DOCUMENTARY FOR 3SAT, 37. min.

Climate art is booming. The saving of the planet is the big theme of the biennials and art museums. Climate political art á la Olafur Eliasson’s “Iceberg melts before our eyes”  is strong picture and morally on the right side. But in many cases also “folkloric kitsch” (Harald Weltzer). And sometimes even simply bigoted: because the international art scene with its biennials and fairs is an unparalleled CO2 catapult. What is the task of art in climate change? Shaking up at any price – as do the artistic forms of action of Exctinction Rebellion? Or rather think more modestly and reduce your own CO2 footprint – with less and different art. The 3Sat documentary explores this question. A production by Kobalt Productions.
