Sharon Lockhart: Films

Sharon Lockhart explores the boundaries of photography and moving images. The Filmmuseum presents a selection of Sharon Lockhart's films held by Sammlung Goetz. They range from her earliest to most recent works.

The immediate experience of time is one of the central aspects in Sharon Lockhart's films. By connecting her camera to a tripod, she defines a fixed frame in which everyday actions take place. The content of her films is often related to her ethnographic interests. Many of her works, for example Teatro Amazonas, develop in close connection with her photographs.
Lockhart comes from the Structural film tradition of the 1960s and 1970s. The series in the Filmmuseum conveys insights into her conceptual approach. Her most recent film NO, which records a Japanese couple working in a field in a quiet landscape, celebrates its European premiere.

Upcoming

Gutai. Collection + Goetz

| Pinakothek der Moderne | Sammlung Moderne Kunst (Modern Art Collection)

Works from the Sammlung Goetz place the phenomenon of gestural art within an international context. After the end of World War II and in an auspicious political climate, one of the most innovative artist groups of the 20th century, Gutai (concrete, spontaneous, direct), evolved in Japan. The Gutai group was founded in 1954 with the aim of moving beyond the realm of abstraction and exploring the possibilities of pure creativity. Works by Toshio Yoshida and Chiyu Uemae, among others, will be presented. This project is a continuation of the joint cooperation between the Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen and the Sammlung Goetz under the title Sammlung+Goetz.
