Currently on display at the Art Gallery of NSW is the new video installation by renowned German artist
Julian Rosefeldt (pictured below) which features Cate Blanchett .
The work presents a series of monologues that Rosefeldt has
created by editing and reassembling a collage of artists’ manifestos, from declarations penned
by the futurists, dadaists and situationists, to the musings of
individual artists, architects, dancers and filmmakers such as Sol
LeWitt, Yvonne Rainer and Jim Jarmusch. Blanchett performs these ‘new manifestos’ while inhabiting 13 different personas – among them a school teacher, a newsreader, a factory worker and a homeless man – to explore the power and urgency of these historical words in our world today.
It's on until 19th February 2017 and Whispers will be attending a special viewing next Tuesday. Hopefully there will be some guests of the caliber who turned up in New York as the Gum Leaf Mafia invaded the Park Avenue Armory for a special US screening. As you can see from our exclusive photos it was movie star heaven.
