WORKSHOP. EXPERIMENTALE FILME

Vostell, Wolf and Kurt Kren
WORKSHOP. EXPERIMENTALE FILME
Aachen: Filmstudio Aachen/Theatresaal Der Mensa, 1967
30 x 21cm,  5pp mimeographed / offset and stapled (once, top left) programme for this event which displayed works by both the documenter of the Viennese Aktionists Kren (who has 15 short films noted including 4 of Muhl's challenging aktions) and a lengthy programme of Vostell's films including his decollage film program 'Sun in your Head' and 'Starfighter'.  Each programme was unique - because of a 1pp xeroxed printed press photograph which was appropriated by Vostell and printed on transparent paper so that the reverse could be clearly seen.  The insert in this programme is of King Frederick of Denmark looking at a scale model of a ferry.. Paper is faded and slightly browned and the slightly oversized xerox sheet has edge damage all the way down the right hand side (but no loss of image or text) but this is an incredibly rare original work by Vostell which is all the more remarkable because of the emphemeral and fragile nature of the xerox which is well preserved. Overall very good taking into account the nature of the materials.
