AS A FILMMAKER, Baldwin’s works represent a radical fusion of form and content. Formally, his films are constructed largely (in the artistic traditions of surrealism, dada and collage) from audiovisual material appropriated from pre-existing films (including newsreels, science fiction films and more). In this, they represent a radical stance toward media culture as a participatory field. As an artist, Baldwin engages with mainstream media as an adversary, using its languages in ironic opposition. In this way he talks back to corporately produced media and creates inspiring, wildly imaginative works which profoundly challenge the nature of one-way media consumption.

AS A FILM CURATOR, Baldwin is known for “Other Cinema,” an extensive series of film/video programs he has personally organized in San Francisco on a schedule of 36 programs per year since the late 1980s. Like his films, Baldwin’s Other Cinema represents a radically expanded approach to film exhibition, media consumption and cultural engagement. Baldwin’s approach questions the status of film as purely a fine art, going further to include: ephemeral forms of film history (including industrial and educational film), expanded cinema performance, and presentations on the histories of obsolete media as well as frequent screenings of forgotten “underground” films. Seeing the screening event as a place for the exchange of ideas, Other Cinema often includes in-person guests presenting not only cinematic artworks but expounding on ideas of media and cultural theory. As a committed and highly imaginative curator, Baldwin has inspired countless artists and kindred film programmers.
Craig Baldwin: Science in Action will elaborate the significance of this work. In doing so, it will be the first critical text to examine the artist’s films analytically as a coherent and meaningful body of work and critical artist’s statement. Furthermore, Science in Action will be the first extensive look at the cultural impact of Baldwin’s Other Cinema curatorial project.


We invite writers and artists to propose contributions on various aspects of Baldwin’s interdisciplinary work. Texts can be submitted for one of the following sections:
— Essays between 5,000 and 10,000 words (please send 250 word abstract/proposal for consideration by April 15)
— Personal responses between 500 and 1500 words
— We also encourage artistic interpretations, artwork, ephemera and nontraditional texts.

Texts, proposals and queries can be emailed to info@incite-online.net with the subject line, “Science in Action.” For further details about our editorial policy and submission guidelines, please consult the Information section of our website: incite-online.net/informationweb.html

The KHB's Artist-in-Residence Programme in collaboration with the Institute for Rural Beauty (ILS) aims to research two aspects: on the one hand, it aims to research, reflect and make visible the term "minimal travelling". On the other hand, the focus will be on formats that test playing/experimenting with community. ILS invites experimental artists*, who react site-specifically in their performative/participative artistic research practice and search for an environment that they can share with others.


The competition is aimed at professionally trained or self-appointed artists* of all ages. Team applications up to 2 persons are possible, if living / working space is shared. Networking is important to us, therefore knowledge of the German language is an advantage.

What does the residency include?
Accommodation, common working area and kitchen according to kunsthallebelow.de/aufenthalte/
Arrival, food and material costs have to be paid by the artist*in.
Carpooling opportunities are supported/offered
1 common meal + campfire after the Open Hour
individual feedback discussions, site-specific inputs, support for special projects at unusual locations
3-8 artists work simultaneously on site, the exchange is supported by Open Hours and smaller thematic feedback rounds.
Invitation to "Art Open" on 8./9.6.19 and to the conference "Experimental Travels" on 10.8.2019

Im)Perfection is an exhibition featuring artworks by practicing artists curated by students of Juan Morel Campos High School with Simone Couto, artist and curator.


Project Curate is a program of NURTUREart in partnership with Juan Morel Campos High School where students learn the entire curatorial process from experiencing contemporary art firsthand, to conceptualizing a curatorial theme, selecting artwork, and organizing an exhibition.

We are an advanced high school art class at Juan Morel Campos High School discussing and learning art history and curating by making art and viewing different practices. We believe art opens different opportunities for everyone. Art reflects on changes in the world and helps us open up to new experiences. We chose to curate the exhibition (Im)Perfection as we believe that it is essential for people to be themselves, not judged, or expected to look a certain way. We are all different. We celebrate differences.

Even if something is not perfect, it can still be beautiful. —Rosemary, Project Curate Student Curator.
