Ambassador Estate Klaus Lutz

About

Ambassador of Klaus Lutz' work and advisor to the Verein zur Erhaltung des Werkes von Klaus Lutz as external freelance associate. The Verein zur Erhaltung des Werkes von Klaus Lutz manages the Estate of Klaus Lutz.

Klaus Lutz's work remained something of a secret during the artist's lifetime. Today, we are discovering this surprisingly timeless oeurve, with a unique vocabulary and grammar. In the 1980s, Lutz's drawings and engravings, which are cinematic in their representation, led him to make films, which exaggerate this metamorphism, and are essentially rhythmic.

Klaus Lutz: The Beauty of my Island, VariaVision with Atelier Impopulaire, film night @ Volksbühne Berlin, Roter Salon
16 October, 2018, 8 - 11 pm

As part of its ongoing series VariaVision the Volksbühne Berlin in coproduction with Atelier Impopulaire presents a happening to celebrate the life and work of Klaus Lutz. The musicians Sir Henry and Herman Herrmann will provide a lush, faux primitive sound for the space, invoking the spirit of the Volksbühne Schmalzwald of the 90's on Solina Eminent organ and guitar throughout the evening, while the space will be invaded by multiple live projections of rare original 16mm copies of the artist’s films, screened over a series of sculptures realized by Lutz for his performances and installations. VariaVision was founded by the Volksbühne curator Giulio Bursi, VariaVision is a collaborative curatorial platform with the ambition to present innovative moving image works and performances realized by filmmakers and artists who aim to move beyond the frame of the canonical formats of filmmaking and film presentations.
