A world premiere, right here on our shores, ACMI (Australian Centre for the Moving Image) presents Julian Rosefeldt: Manifesto . Proudly commissioned by ACMI in partnership with the Art Gallery of New South Wales , Hamburger Bahnhof - Museum für Gegenwart, Berlin and Sprengel Museum, Hannover, it stars Cate Blanchett . Also exhibited are Julian's previous works; Deep Gold (2013), Stunned Man (Trilogy of Failure II) (2004) and The Soundmaker (Trilogy of Failure I) (2004).

A new thirteen-channel work by Rosefeldt, Blanchett performs his compositions of twentieth century manifestos in unexpected contexts that questions the role of artists and writers in society today. Drawn from the writings of Futurists, Dadaists, Fluxus artists, Suprematists, Situtationists, Dogma 95 and other artist groups and their musings, architects, dancers, filmmakers, philosophies and other influencers, Rosefeldt has put together a collage of artists' manifestos.


Among them are a school teacher, a puppeteer, a newsreader, a factory worker and a homeless man. Breathing dramatic new life into 13 different personas and famous words, Blanchett's performance is an intent by the artist to pull your curiosity back to the text and the spoken word. Have these passionate statements composed with utter conviction withstood the passage of time? Can they still be applied universally? Have the dynamics between politics, art and life shifted? In the last century without the global network we have today, artists needed to scream extremely loud to be heard. Has the medium of artistic articulation become less relevant in a globalised and connected art world?

A Berlin-based artist, Julian Rosefeldt is world renown for using the familiar to carry you into surreal theatrical realms that absorb you into the rituals of everyday life. He seduces with humour and satire in his visually opulent and meticulously choreographed moving image artworks exploring themes of dislocation, alienation and social and psychological disruption. You'll find yourself in familiar worlds made strange.
