Hans Ulrich Obrist

Jack Flex is broke, buff, and wildly delusional—but he’s got a dream: to sell his absurd invention, the Heavy Hat, on his mom’s favorite shopping channel. When a desperate producer gives him a shot, Jack’s web of lies—celebrity clients, Hollywood fame—starts to unravel. With just one week to turn fiction into fact, he sprints through L.A. in a chaotic quest for credibility, hope, and a shot at stardom.

A film that came with a book in the same name, The Future of Art; A manual. The film contains documentary and interviews on acclaimed artists about the direction of art towards the future.

From 2001 until shortly before her death in 2014, Sepp Dreissinger regularly visited Austrian artist Maria Lassnig, and accompanied her with photo- and video-cameras. The film documents the oftentimes very personal approach taken by the photographer and filmmaker towards a solitary artist.

Unable to sleep, Jonas Mekas drifts through New York nights, moving between apartments, studios, galleries, bars, and clubs. Along the way he encounters friends and fellow artists—including Ken and Flo Jacobs and Yoko Ono—capturing an intimate mosaic of nocturnal encounters, reflections, and moments of community.

Magnús Blöndal Jóhannsson is remembered as one of the pioneers of modern Icelandic music. The conversation between Hans Ulrich Obrist and Magnúsar Blöndal took place in Reykjavík on August 9, 2004. Nine days later, he lapsed into a coma and died on January 1, 2005.

This exhibition focuses on Jonas Mekas’ 365 Day Project, a succession of films and videos in calendar form. Every day as of January 1st, 2007 and for an entire year, as indicated in the title, a large public (the artist's friends, as well as unknowns) were invited to view a diary of short films of various lengths (from one to twenty minutes) on the Internet. A movie was posted each day, adding to the previously posted pieces, resulting altogether in nearly thirty-eight hours of moving images.
