Cinema brought movement into art. But how does the relationship between cinema and other art forms look today? The exhibition “Moving Pictures. Art and Cinema from 1950 to the present day” which will be opened by the Ostwall Museum in the Dortmund U, tells of this relationship. On display will be masterpieces of the 20th century as well as contemporary art.

"Moving Pictures" is planned for the Autumn. The exhibition originated in cooperation with the Pompidou Centre in Paris and was created for and with Dortmund. It is representative of the Pompidou Centre’s important collection.

The exhibition room will be full of filmic elements: the placing of the films and videos, paintings, photographs and sculptures follows a playful layout. In a supporting programme, many films from the Pompidou Centre’s collection will be shown in the "Auditorium", that will be designed by the Viennese artist Franz West.
