OAOA SALON (2014)

OAOA Salon/Adrian Marthaler, Badischer Kunstverein
What Were You Expecting, Mr. Milquetoast, a Plot?

March 2014

In the framework of the group exhibition "What Were You Expecting, Mr. Milquetoast, a Plot?" at Badischer Kunstverein, the Ocean’s Academy of Arts hosted a salon evening introducing the video works of Adrian Martaler. His peculiar video productions were screened alongside a dispersed selection of printed matter by OAOA, creating an informal constellation of moving images and publications.

Adrian Marthaler (b. 1962, Switzerland) produces what might be called televisual operas: eccentric video works where classical music drifts into staged narrative, somewhere between opera, music video, and experimental film.
