From Exile Shangai
|
German documentar-ian Ulrike Ottinger will be visiting the IU Bloomington campus the week of Sept. 27 in conjunction with Horizons of Knowledge.
She has been serving as artist-in-residence at the ArtPace, Foundation for Contemporary Fine Art/San Antonio, Texas, and the U.S. premiere of her Twelve Chairs will be held in conjunction with the reopening of the Museum of Modern Art in November.
In Bloomington, her film Exile Shanghai (1997) will be shown in two parts, Monday, Sept. 27, and Tuesday, Sept. 28, at 7 p.m. in Fine Arts 015. The work, which premiered at the International Film Festival in Berlin, is the documentation of six lives that intersect in exile in Shanghai. Narratives, photographs, documents and new images of the city inform the story lines of the German, Austrian and Russian Jewish subjects portrayed.
Ottinger will give a workshop Wednesday, Sept. 29, from noon to 2 p.m. in Ballantine Hall 004. The workshop title is “Putting the Margins into the Center.”
