For Circulating Copies, IMAI – Inter Media Art Institute will present a selection of video works from its own collection in dialog with newly commissioned works in public spaces throughout Düsseldorf and beyond from 5 April to 5 May 2024. The IMAI emerged from the activities of 235 Media, whose founders initially set out to find platforms and distribution channels for new video works in the 1980s, and established a programme of international video artists in the process. In addition to exhibition venues and TV stations, they also focused on public spaces and realised screenings in clubs or temporary architectures. Drawing on these origins of the collection, Circulating Copies is an exhibition and event programme where video art is shared and discussed in public institutional spaces, such as the facade of Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus, or Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen, but also in subway stations, an ice cream parlour, and senior living facilities.
