The Germanic-American Institute is hosting an opening party for the Geniale Dilettanten exhibt with short film screenings, music by Twin Cities’ legendary DJ ESP, and surprise performers. Geniale Dilettanten (Brilliant Dilettantes) – presented by the Germanic-American Institute – is the name of a brief artistic renewal movement in the 1980s in West and East Germany. The exhibition shows the broad range of the subculture through works of film, art, design, fashion, and music samples of seven experimental bands. The touring exhibition is created by the Goethe-Institute and has traveled internationally to cities in Europe, Australia, Mexico, Pakistan, and the U.S.
