Opening Days (31.03. + 01.04.)
This year, the opening days of the VIDEONALE.19 on
Friday and Saturday will once again be a meeting point for artists, curators, festival organizers, collectors and scholars. Many of the VIDEONALE.19 artists will be present.
Speed Dating, Networking Lunch, Round Tables, Think Tanks and a Pool Picnic are all about one thing: encounters in new constellations. In the evenings, the program opens up to all those interested in art and culture with performances, parties and get-togethers. You would like to take part on one or both opening days? Click here to sign up!
Opening day 1: Something is at stake
The 27 works of VIDEONALE.19 address themes of contemporary relevance in diverse and complex artistic narratives. Through their content, they become advocates of marginalized perspectives, giving them voice and visibility. And we are ready to explore that further:
What does it mean to be an artistic and curatorial advocate for personal concerns and those of others? How does this influence the artistic process, the choice of themes, and other artistic decisions? We also ask: What does advocacy mean for the (curatorial) decisions of festival makers, curators, and collectors?

SCREENING + TALK | In Flow of Words
The three protagonists of In Flow of Words, including Nenad Popovic, worked as interpreters for the tribunal at the International Court of Justice in The
Hague, which tried the war crimes of the Yugoslav war. In the filmic collaboration, Eliane Esther Bots opens up a space in which the
protagonists can speak, listen to one another, and remember. What this collaboration meant for Eliane Esther Bots and Nenad Popovic is what they and the simultaneous interpreter Barbara Kagon, who looks at the film from the audience's perspective, talk about.

DOOM
Somewhere between Solitude and Community.
Performative staging
collective mourning on the ground
of the Viktoriabad
by Samuel Hertz and Layton Lachman
Performers: Layton Lachman, Samuel Hertz, emeka ene, Caroline
Neill Alexander, Dani Paiva de Miranda.
Even as apocalypses bloom around us, we dance non-stop and launch into an earth shattering drone-metal concert, howling at the end of the world. DOOM is a collective, cathartic grieving for the dooms which for some have already arrived, and the dooms with which others are just now beginning to contend. In the face of ongoing destruction, "let's start," science fiction author N. K. Jemisin writes, "with the end of the world, why don't we?"
No registration needed / Free Entry / The number of participants is limited

Opening day 2: Do we still trust in art?
As an expression of indomitable individuality, art has the potential to change society. This is beyond question for us. It is not without reason that it is at the top of the list of enemies of the state in autocratic systems.
What is the state of how we deal with art here in Europe, in Germany and in NRW? And we would like to look at the way we present art, when we bring it into conversation (and when not) and who we reach (or not). Can we figure this out?

by Anja Bornşek (performance artist)

TONTÄNZE (EINE AUSWAHL)
by and with Antonia Baehr & Jule Flierl (V.19Artists)
The term "Tontänze" comes from Valeska Gert. “Tontanz“describes the movement of voice in the body and thus departs from the cliché of the silent dancer. V.19 artists Jule Flierl and Antonia Baehr take up this conceptual term, which opens up new forms of relationship between body, dance and voice in this selection.
Jule Flierl and Antonia Baehr got to know each other through the transmission of a score. When Antonia Baehr sent Jule Flierl the score to Antonia Baehr's piece 'MY DOG IS MY PIANO', the two began a reflection and practice in the interstice between written instructions and artistic processes.

Videonale Satellites
Kunstmuseum Bonn | Helmut-Kohl-Allee 2, 53113 Bonn The museum is the place where the V.19 exhibition and the festival program meet in the foyer, the exhibition and the Videonale Circus.
Viktoriabad | Franziskanerstr. 9, 53113 Bonn The city's first indoor swimming pool has been empty for a long time. Today, past and present meet anew surrounded by blue tiles and colorful art glass windows.
Café Blau | Franziskanerstr. 9, 53113 Bonn Café Blau represents the student life of the city in the heart of Bonn: You've either worked here yourself or know the café as a central meeting place for everyone.
KING GEORG | Sudermanstr. 2, 50670 Cologne The Cologne-based club and jazz bar King Georg, which opened in 1968, was - despite an enduring myth - never a table dance bar. But what you can find there until today: Diverse culture and danced-through nights.
Theater im Ballsaal | Frongasse 9, 53121 Bonn Empty for some time, the former ballroom reopened in the 1990s through public engagement. Since that time, the theater has existed as the only independent theater house in Bonn.
Kreuzbunker | Platz der evangelischen Kirche, 53113 Bonn Hidden under the Kreuzkirche is a bunker from World War 2 in the middle of Bonn. The sheltering space is the location of the screening of Julian Quentin's experimental film 'Territory'.
Post Tower | Platz der Deutschen Post,
53113 Bonn 162 meters high, the Post Tower rises from the federal district. The modern architecture impressively combines steel, glass and modern technology, connected by 12 high-speed elevators.
