Her research interests cover experimental film, contemporary film installation and digital art. In her capacity as a film curator Maxa has presented experimental film screenings at Tate Modern, Centre of Contemporary Art Geneva, Filmmuseum Munich, Tramway Glasgow, Berlin Kunstverein, Rekord Gallery Oslo and no.w.here London. She also runs film workshops and works as a writer and art critic. Her publications include a number of academic texts and exhibition catalogues, such as X-Screen: Film Installations and Actions in the 1960s and 1970s (MuMoK Vienna). She is a regular contributor to Art Monthly Magazine. In 2002 Maxa was part of the educational team at Documenta 11. Dr Maxa Zoller teaches moving image art and critical theory at Sotheby’s Institute of Art and Goldsmiths College. Maxa completed her Ph.D. thesis Places ... of Projection: Re- Contextualising the European Experimental Film Canon at Birkbeck College, London in 2007. A lecturer and curator Maxa has a keen interest in marginal and interdisciplinary film practices, which focus around issues of the body, expanded cinema, the practice of female filmmakers, and experimental film from former Socialist countries. In her capacity as a film curator Maxa has presented experimental film screenings in a number of museums and galleries including Open Systems: Film: Structural Film in Europe 1967-1974 and Generation Berlin Wall: Films from West Berlin and East Germany in the 1980s at Tate Modern, Super 80 Ost: Punk, Performance&Politics behind the Iron Curtain and Phoney Languages at no.w.here, Pop Concertos for Film: Peter Whitehead at Riflemaker Gallery, Not the Girl who Misses Much: Female Filmmakers Around 1980 and Temperature by Picture: The Otolith Group at the Sprüth Magers Gallery London, and other institutions such as FACT Liverpool, Tramway Glasgow, Berlin Kunstverein, Rekord Gallery Oslo. Maxa is associate curator at the artist-run film space no.w.here in East London where she will present a series of film programmes in 2012 including Raise Raise Raise Your Voice: Mosireen and the Egyptian Revolution, Bambule (script: Ulrike Meinhof) and The Otolith Group. She is currently preparing a two-day screening event on the politics of language for South London Gallery in September 2012. Pedagogy has always played a key role in Maxa’s professional life; workshops are a particularly effective way to develop new creative teaching and learning methodologies. Maxa’s open workshops The Cinematic Body, which look at the relationship between technology, the body and ideology, first took place at no.where from where they ‘toured’ internationally to FACT Liverpool, the Academy of Arts in Oslo, Vienna and Munich and in 2011 to the Free Cinema School in Cairo. In collaboration with no.w.here Maxa organised IMAGE | EVENT, a three-day workshop for Image Movement at the Centre for Contemporary Art in Geneva in December 2010. She recently presented her first object-based exhibition All that Remains… The Teenagers of Socialism at Waterside Project Space in East London. Maxa is a regular contributor to Art Monthly Magazine. She also writes for exhibition catalogues. Her academic research is published in a number of journals and anthologies.
