Allan Sekula is an artist whose innovation of photographic practice and theory centers on the engagement of documentary and performative forms in a sustained critique of economic, social and cultural globalization. He has exhibited extensively in the context of large-scale international exhibitions, including documenta 11 and 12.

One of Sekula’s more recent works was the experimental documentary “The Forgotten Space,” which he co-directed with longtime collaborator Noël Burch. The 2010 movie explored the shipping industries and other forms of international commerce. A review of the movie called it “unabashedly polemical and rigorously pessimistic, a sustained Marxian indictment of 21st-century capital.”

Susanne M. Winterling will introduce the film and welcome curator Milena Hoegsberg from Henie Onstad Kunstsenter (HOK), the partner institution for this Academy Lecture. “The Forgotten Space” is a part of the group exhibition “Arbeidstid” (“work time”), which explores the time and space of labor, on view at HOK till September 1st, 2013.

The screening will take place in Khio’s Main Auditorium in Fossveien 24, Oslo.
