“Fields”: A Curated Cinema Program at mumok Exploring Capitalism Through Moving-Image

Fields is a cinema program curated by Clara Chavan and Selma Meuli, reflecting on the consequences and absurdities of capitalism. The program features a selection of moving-image works presented in collaboration with the artist Jan van Oordt's residency program, La Dépendance.

Fields, a cinema program curated by Clara Chavan and Selma Meuli, was conceived in response to artist Jan van Oordt's screening series 'Orbits' and draws inspiration from his rural artist residency, La Dépendance. The program features a curated selection of moving-image pieces that critically examine the consequences, pathologies, and absurdities of capitalism, while also proposing potential responses. The selected works include pieces by David Wojnarowicz, Martha Rosler, Liam Gillick, Bernadette Corporation, Tony Cokes, Guadalupe Ruiz & Janosch Perler, Rafael França, and Meriem Bennani & Orian Barki. Clara Chavan and Selma Meuli are Swiss-based curators whose collaborative practice has developed over several years; Clara is co-director and curator of Forde, Geneva, and Selma is curator at Kunsthaus Biel Centre d’art Bienne. Jan van Oordt is an artist based in Saint-Imier, where he founded and runs La Dépendance, an art space and residency that fosters informal gatherings and conversations, positioning itself as a space for experimental noticing.

Admission to the program at mumok cinema is free. Online registration for a free event ticket is required, and admission is only possible with a pre-ordered ticket; there is no box office.
