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 ZDF aspekte.

ON SCREEN: CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE ARTS, 27.06.2020 19.20, 3Sat

Climate art is booming. Saving the planet is a major theme of biennials and art museums. Climate art á la Olafur Eliasson is a strong image and morally on the right side. But in many cases also “folkloristic kitsch” (Harald Welzer). And sometimes also simply bigoted: because the international art scene with its biennials and fairs is producing a large amount of CO2 itself. What is the role of artists if it comes to dealing with climate change? To shake things up at all costs – just like the artistic forms of action of groups like extinction rebellion? Or to think more modestly and reduce their own CO2 footprint – with less and different art. The documentary  explores this question.

Written and directed by Frauke Schlieckau. A production by Kobalt Productions

IN PRODUCTION: FEELINGS! FOR ARTE METROPOLIS

Contemporary art has a hard time. “Awesome”, “absurd”, “incomprehensible”, many people think so and leave the discourse to the intellectual upper class. Yet anyone could understand art – if only one more language would establish itself: That of emotions. At least that’s the opinion of Bernhard Schwenk and Nicola Graef, the curators of the exhibition “Feelings” in Munich’s Pinakothek der Moderne. For Arte Metropolis, Frauke Schlieckau traces the role that emotions play in art and meets the artists Ruprecht von Kaufmann and Alexandra Ranner in their studios.

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.
