Join us for an Open Studio with RU Artist, Alex Nowak, as he presents a selection of video works from his recent archive. Working within painting, sculpture and video Nowak’s works address a wide range of interests including psychedelics, ethnography, art history, didactics and horror.
Screened Works will include:
Lernversuch (3:4, 1 min, 2012), a video exploring the difficulties of learning.
Schlüssel zum Tod (3:4, 3 min, 2013) asks if the key to death is incidental.
