On the occasion of ‘Julian Rosefeldt. Manifesto’ — the West Coast premiere of the 13-channel film installation by visual artist Julian Rosefeldt at Hauser & Wirth Los Angeles — please join us for a discussion of the work with the artist, Oscar Award-winning actress, Cate Blanchett, and Executive and Artistic Director of UCLA’s Center for the Art of Performance, Kristy Edmunds. In ‘Manifesto’ (2015), actress Cate Blanchett assumes 13 different personas — from a factory worker to a television news anchor to a homeless man — performing various historical artists’ manifestos. The work pays homage to the long tradition and literary beauty of public statements made by artists, and serves to provoke reflection upon the role of the artist as an active citizen in society today.
