Cinema Remake – Art & Film: An Exhibition Exploring Film Reinterpretation in Visual Arts

This exhibition explored the phenomenon of the remake in cinema and its extension into the visual arts, showcasing how artists and filmmakers transform iconic films into radically new works. It revealed exceptional results from using existing cinematic works as a basis for contemporary art and film.

The exhibition 'Cinema Remake – Art & Film', held from March 23 to June 1, 2014, delved into the concept of the remake as a significant artistic practice. It highlighted how filmmakers and visual artists utilize iconic feature films as foundational material to generate entirely new and original creations. The exhibition showcased this phenomenon's powerful presence in both cinema and its intersection with the visual arts, demonstrating how established cinematic language can be deconstructed, reinterpreted, and built upon to tell new stories or create new aesthetic experiences. Featured artists and filmmakers, such as David Maljković with his work 'Recalling Frames' inspired by Orson Welles' 'The Trial', and Cory Arcangel, who reinterpreted Dennis Hopper's 'Colors', exemplify this creative approach. These artists engaged with existing films to unravel cinematic codes and create distinct artworks, often incorporating film stills, photography, and projections. The program also extended to cinema screenings of remade films, like Sergio Leone's 'A Fistful of Dollars' based on Akira Kurosawa's 'Yojimbo', and discussions on cinematic lineage, such as comparing 'Kiss Me Deadly' with David Lynch's 'Lost Highway' and presenting double bills of 'Scarface' from different eras.
