黑料不打烊

With the 20th edition, the VIDEONALE is celebrating 40 years of festival history in Bonn with an exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Bonn and at various locations in the city. For the anniversary, the Videonale has delved deep into the festival archive. A total of 26 video works were selected for the exhibition, opening up an exciting dialogue between the past and present of video art. Historical video works meet new productions that impressively document the spectrum of what video can do as an art form and what has characterised it as a narrative medium from the very beginning.

Even before the opening, the prologue (16.11.2024-13.3.2025) will provide an opportunity to approach the works of VIDEONALE.20. On the opening days (11/12 April 2025) and throughout the duration of the exhibition, the Videonale invites visitors to engage with the works through introductions, resonances, guided tours, workshops and talks. Screenings and performances will take place as satellites in parks, historical buildings and private living rooms. Performative excursions lead along the exhibition stations through the city.
