Video Screening with Madeline Stillwell


design: STUDIO NURA

The first Berlin Collective video screening was an engaging and even slightly magical event! American artist Madeline Stillwell presented a selection of recent video works, documentation of her sculptural performances and installations.  This was followed by a lively discussion, moderated by host Mira O'Brien, the Berlin Collective Berlin Director. The event took place in her studio building in Kreuzberg. 
More of Madeline's work can be seen here http://madelinestillwell.com






After the conversation with Madeline, all guests were invited out into the garden for a surprise performance by artist and musician Mark Golamco. Mark was visiting Berlin with his viola, and treated us to some enchanting songs! 





As guests trickled back inside, we screened the feature film "Pina" by Wim Wenders. We look forward to continuing this series, pairing artists with feature films and performances!

About the Berlin Collective
Berlin Collective founded in 2009 by artist Nicole Cohen, as a platform for international cultural exchange to support U.S. Artists by giving them international exposure and to support U.S. artists based there.

Berlin Collective focuses on the connection between the U.S. and Berlin, Germany and beyond. We are an artist/ curator run collective based in NYC and Berlin. Our aim to provide exciting opportunities, knowledge and intellectual growth to art professionals by strengthening international exposure to their work, increase to U.S. artist’s who participate, and the development of American culture in the arts.

Based on the constant growth in population of artists in the U.S. and continuation of unclear business strategies and community opportunities for emerging, mid-career, and established artists to be in dialogue, the Berlin Collective offers a bridging and dialogue amongst art professionals. We host formal and informal events featuring artists. We hope to support new frontiers and alternative approaches for them to discover international possibilities within their professional careers. We believe in the growing global market, which will boost creative approaches and transform the arts at this time due to the evolving technological advancements and abilities to communicate equally internationally and locally.
