Olaf Stüber is a curator, publisher, lecturer and adviser for contemporary art with a main emphasis on time-base media art.
Galerie Olaf Stüber (2001–2011) emphasized moving image works as from 2003 and was one of the very few galleries focusing on artists’ film and video at the time.
In 2008, together with Ivo Wessel – a collector friend – Olaf Stüber founded an international platform for artists’ films and videos in Berlin: Videoart at Midnight. Taking place at the legendary Babylon cinema, this monthly screening series offers an in-depth insight into the current video art production of Berlin’s international art scene. In 10 years and over 100 midnight shows, it has become a central forum for both renowned and upcoming promising artists working with the moving-image.
As the result of an intense reflection on the art market’s convention of limitation vs. the artist’s and public’s interest of visibility in a broader range of collections, Olaf Stüber started in 2012 to publish video art in a unique edition format – the Videoart at Midnight Editions. In a series featuring about six artworks per year, with a higher number of copies than commonly acceptable in the art world, Videoart at Midnight Edition is building up a collectable contemporary omnibus of artists’ films and video art installations. It represents today a unique anthology of a medium that is gaining more and more importance within contemporary art.
Furthermore Olaf Stüber holds lectures on video and artists’ films, moderates talks and panels on the current challenges of the art market, curates film and video programs for institutions, fairs and festivals and has been member of numerous juries, all around the world.
Olaf Stüber is an active member of IKT International Association of Curators of Contemporary Art.
Thanks to his expertise in the field of film and video art, Olaf Stüber is a trusted partner for a growing number of private collectors and institutions.
