GETTY RESEARCH INSTITUTE
HARALD SZEEMANN ARCHIVE
ORAL HISTORIES

For over a year we filmed 30 oral histories about curator Harald Szeemann (1933-2005) for the Getty Research Institute in Los Angeles. After acquiring the Szeemann archive GRI has mounted a comprehensive retrospective on the curatorial work by Szeemann. The show opened in February 2018 at the Getty in Los Angeles and then traveled to Bern, Düsseldorf, Torino and New York. We produced the entire audiovisual content for the museum exhibition including short documentaries and slideshows. The videos were part of the exhibition and now an important part of the archive. Interviews feature curators and artists such as: Ai Wei Wei, Lawrence Weiner, Christo, Anri Sala, Cai Guo-Qiang, Alana Heiss, Giuseppe Penone and Germano Celant and many others.
