Nordstern Videokunstzentrum
Since 2012, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein equips the Nordstern video art center in the landmarked Nordstern Tower in Gelsenkirchen. On five levels, in an annual cycle, changing exhibitions of international video art are set up, coming from the collection of n.b.k. Video Forum, the oldest and one of the largest video art collections in Germany, founded in 1971, with more than 1,600 works. The exhibition Feminismen presents international feminist and post-feminist video works from the 1970s to the current present and introduces an extensive view of the feminist art production with the medium video. The artist Sanja Iveković produces a new work, which will be premiered in the exhibition.
