Why Words Now presents Alex Wissel

In collaboration with the lecture series Why Words Now you can experience a screening of the film Single by Alex Wissel in our cinema on Tuesday 7 November at 17.00.

The film screening will be followed by a talk with Alex Wissel, which takes place in the Sculpture School at 18.00.

Alex Wissel (1983) is a German painter, sculptor, performance artist, actor and film director. Trained at the Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts in Lyon and as a master student of Rosemarie Trockel at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, Wissel now lives and works in Düsseldorf. Wissel’s event series “Single Club” (2011/2012) in an Albanian gambling bar in Düsseldorf became legendary in party and artist circles. The experimental film “single”, made in collaboration with film director Jan Bonny, was made at the same time as a sort of extension of the club in a different medium.

The event is free and no registration is needed. The screening and talk will be in English.

Why Words Now is curated by artist and academy professor Simon Dybbroe Møller.
