In That Case: Anthony Discenza and Peter Straub discuss Das Beben

Artist Anthony Discenza and Peter Straub—nationally renowned horror novel author—delve into the history of the obscure nineteenth century artists' movement known as Das Beben.

The duo researched this movement for their collaborative In That Case installation, Beyond the Veil of Vision: Reinhold von Kreitz and the Das Beben Movement.

In that Case: Havruta in Contemporary Art is an on-going series of collaborations based on the Talmudic study principle of havruta–the study of religious texts by people in pairs.

Filmed on Thursday, April 30, 2015.
