Berlin, Germany

Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) is a site of contemporary art and discourse production. The institution was founded in 1969, with the goal of presenting contemporary fine art to a broader public, and of inviting that public to actively participate in cultural processes. With the collection Video-Forum, n.b.k. makes available to the public over 1,700 international works of video art. Founded in 1971 as an artists' initiative, the Video-Forum is the oldest and one of the biggest public video art collections in Germany and Europe. Since its funding it has been expanded constantly through co-productions and yearly purchases. The holdings of the Video-Forum can be watched in a dedicated space. Presentations and screenings based on the collection introduce current and historical developments in video art to the public and generate discussion around them.
