494h 29m 53s The collection of the n.b.k. Video-Forum sorted by running time by Karin Sander | Opening

• 9 p.m. – Midnight Video Screening
  

The project "494h 29m 53s" by artist Karin Sander presents 1,254 videos from the archive of the Video Forum of the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.), shown in the studio of the Akademie der Künste – strictly arranged according to their respective running times.


The works of 574 artists and collectives will be shown in a continuous long-term screening lasting 494 hours, starting with the shortest and ending with the longest.


From July 3rd, the program will follow a fixed rhythm for 31 days: 12 hours daily, 24 hours non-stop on weekends.


The n.b.k. Video-Forum, founded in 1971 on the initiative of artists and cultural actors, is the oldest and one of the most important video art collections in Germany. It includes works from fields such as Fluxus, feminist video practice, Berlin media art, and media-critical approaches.


With her project, Karin Sander presents the collection as a holistic visual experience – a "grand cinema" of video art that rediscovers its diversity and depth.


"494h 29m 53s" provides a comprehensive insight into over five decades of international video art. The presentation follows no thematic filter, but rather juxtaposes all works on an equal footing, regardless of origin, gender, or time of creation. This creates new, often surprising connections between the individual works – determined solely by duration, sequence, and context.


The audience is invited to attend the screenings according to their own schedule – with the freedom to join or leave at any time.

A detailed program booklet provides orientation to the artists, works, and schedules.
