As a Berlin based painter and filmmaker, Stefan Hayn (*1965) rediscovered painting through cinematic approaches, especially along the questions about ”representative authenticity” in so-called ”documentary films”. In his lecture he will talk about relationships between cinema and painting and show his film MALEREI HEUTE/PAINTING NOW.

Join Ruth Benitez, Ines Yujnovsky, Flavia Krause, Carlos Motta, Liliana Porter and Rosaura Ramos for a discussion on HISTORIAS and avant-garde art. Event will be held in Spanish with English translator and subtitles.
