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.

Kate Millet: Three Lives

Three Lives (1971), the only completed film by Kate Millett, was made in a moment of transition. Her debut book, Sexual Politics (1970), had made her famous overnight as a spokesperson for the feminist movement. With Three Lives, she attempted to redirect the spotlight to ordinary women and to redefine herself as an artist. This screening of the film will be introduced by Sam Huber, who will consider it in relation to Millett’s sculpture Terminal Piece (1972). Both works emerged from her experiences in New York’s avant-garde art world, and both expressed her desire, on the heels of Sexual Politics, “to bring change into being.”

Nina Porter: attention

With attention, two things are happening at once. These two things are what make the audience move and what hold their attention. Two films will be screened for the duration of the evening. One will loop; the other will play out. The audience is invited to move freely between them.
