Feiko Beckers (1983) is a visual artist, working with video, performance, installation and text. He has been described as a philosopher who specialises in the concept of banality. His work concerns itself with the basic questions he asks himself. Why don’t I own a sofa? How long does it take to eat a donut? Shall I take my friend to my favorite Italian restaurant in Paris? The exploration of these banal inquiries often morph into a discussion, between the artist and a chosen counterpart.
Olaf Stüber is a curator, publisher, lecturer and adviser for contemporary art with a main emphasis on time-base media art. In 2008, together with Ivo Wessel – a collector friend – Olaf Stüber founded an international platform for artists’ films and videos in Berlin: Videoart at Midnight. Taking place at the legendary Babylon cinema, this monthly screening series offers an in-depth insight into the current video art production of Berlin’s international art scene.
Furthermore he holds lectures on video and artists’ films, moderates talks and panels on the current challenges of the art market, curates film and video programs for institutions, fairs and festivals and has been member of numerous juries, all around the world.
