The A 37 90 89. The Discovery of the Avant-Garde exhibition project at the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) is dedicated to the A 37 90 89 project space that was founded in Antwerp in 1969 and which influenced the alternative project spaces, producer galleries, and participatory initiatives that were to follow it in exemplary fashion. Alongside a collaboration with contemporary project space after the butcher, the project includes a film program realized in collaboration with Arsenal, discussion events, and conversations with people from the time. A monthly film evening will be taking place at Arsenal until January 2019. NOW! (Santiago Álvarez, Cuba 1965) is a montage film put together from stills about the discrimination of African-Americans in the US, edited according to the song of the same name. MADINA BOÉ (José Massip, Cuba 1968) documents Guinea-Bissau’s fight for independence from Portuguese colonial power. Funded by the Capital Cultural Fund. (22.11.)
