New Museum, 235 Bowery
$6 Students/Seniors, $8 General Public

Ute Meta Bauer will screen and comment on collective projects by artist Otto Piene and collaborators, including one of the first broadcasted television programs created by experimental visual artists, “Black Gate Cologne” ( 1968). Piene produced “Black Gate Cologne” along with intermedia artist and filmmaker Aldo Tambellini.

Propositions is a public forum that explores ideas in development. Inspired by the scientific method of hypothesis, research, and synthesis, each two-day seminar explores a topic of current investigation in an invited speaker’s own artistic or intellectual practice. Over the course of a seminar session, these developing ideas are presented to the public, responded to, “researched,” and discussed to propel the ideas forward in unique ways.

The structure of Propositions is as follows:

Friday, 7pm – Ute Meta Bauer: Initial proposition and lecture

Saturday, 12pm – Ute Meta Bauer and Otto Piene response, followed by a lunch break

Saturday, 3pm – Discussion
