Kino Babylon in the
Mitte neighborhood of
Berlin.
Background
Videoart at Midnight is a private initiative, founded in 2008 by Olaf Stüber and Ivo Wessel.[1][2][3] Monthly since, and always on a Friday at midnight, Stüber invites artists to show their works within in the "
Dispositif cinema" to put them up for discourse. Every night is dedicated to one artist. The artist is present. It is often the occasion for a premiere of a video work, sometimes accompanied by live acts, such as performances, concerts, lectures or artist talks.[4][5]
The aim of the screening series is to offer a forum for Berlin's international art scene and to give an insight into an artist media that is gaining an increasing importance within the contemporary art production.[6][7][8]
Videoart at Midnight is a non-profit cultural program.[9][10]
