mumok cinema

mumok cinema, designed by artist Heimo Zobernig together with architect Michael Wallraff, is presenting manifold links between fine art and film, showing the great significance of the moving image for classical modernist art, for art in the 1960s and 1970s, and especially for contemporary developments in art.

In a regular Wednesday evening film program, we offer a forum for thematic series of films and conversations about current issues in art. These programs also facilitate discussion on new works and trends.

With its numerous partners mumok cinema is an experimental venue of transfer for artistic approaches and discourses, and also for direct exchange with the audience. mumok cinema also offers opportunities to complement our current exhibitions with related film screenings and to explore and utilize our comprehensive collection of contemporary media art.

Sonic Syntax

This program invites audiences to trace sound as a constitutive, structuring element of video works and to challenge its relationship with the image: Which prompts which? Sound becomes an active authority, gains material presence, and propels narratives or makes them possible in the first place. It acts as a temporal continuum, sets the rhythm of the editing, and provides atmosphere. It facilitates movement and space. Sometimes it acts as a “glue” or supporting structure. Like an infrastructure, it makes almost everything possible unseen.
