Director Wim Wenders creates a hypnotic portrait of Anselm Kiefer, one of the most innovative and important painters and sculptors of our time.
Wenders film presents an immersive experience of the German artist’s work, which explores the overawing beauty of human existence, landscape, and myth while confronting the horrors of his country’s history and seeking to undo the postwar silence in which both artist and director came of age.
Highlighted in the film a rare glimpse into Kiefer’s studio, La Ribaute which has only recently opened to the public.
Over the course of several decades, Anselm Kiefer transformed La Ribaute, a 40-hectare site located in the south of France in Barjac, north of Nîmes into a uniquely immersive artistic environment, creating numerous installations, often at monumental scale.
Join us for an incredible evening of discovery; the life & works of two renowned artists Win Wenders & Anselm Kiefer.

(ART21) ART IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY
BODIES OF KNOWLEDGE – SEASON 11 : EPISODE 2
PLEASE JOIN US FRIDAY DEC. 1, 2023 5PM
(SUB) STUDENT UNION BUILDING – THEATER, NMHU
The artists in “Bodies of Knowledge” are expert investigators — exploring new fields with excitement and curiosity, discovering new ways of understanding ourselves, and developing new methods of inquiry that expand our vision of the world. Featuring Tauba Auerbach, Guerrilla Girls, Hank Willis Thomas, and Anicka Yi, this hour follows three artists and a collective as they explore varied systems of sensing, representing, and interpreting that shape our perceptions. In their practices, these artists push against the normative boundaries that typically define expertise. They create their own fields of study and invite collaborators and consultants with backgrounds in art, music, science, technology, mathematics, political action, and more into their studios. Their works address what is to over looked, underestimated, and misunderstood, asking audiences to pay closer attention and establishing new grounds to do so. These artists create bodies of knowledge in their pursuit of deeper truths, and they divulge their findings through their artistic practices.
This event is presented in collaboration with Art21, a nonprofit global leader in art education, producing preeminent films about today’s leading visual artists & education programs that inspire creativity worldwide.
