Film screened on a loop. Duration approximately 15 min

Italian artist Francesco Vezzoli’s new video project takes as its starting point the impossible ambition of remaking Maximilian Schell’s 1984 documentary Marlene, which starred Marlene Dietrich and influential textile designer and Bauhaus figure Anni Albers. Vezzoli reformulates this classic film as a sensational fake television programme about art, fame and the deconstruction of a public persona.

The world premiere on 2 June is followed by a panel discussion featuring Whitney Museum of American Art curator Chrissie Iles, International Herald Tribune design columnist Alice Rawsthorn, Berlin-based critic and writer Tom Holert, and Achim Borchardt-Hume, curator at Tate Modern.

Please note that on Thursday 8 June the screening starts at 13.00 rather than 12.00.
