LECTURE BY CHEMA GONZALEZ

Cinema futures and the museum of contemporary art. The case of Museo Reina Sofia This lecture will analyze the functions and articulations of cinema in the modern and contemporary art museum, using Museo Reina Sofia (Spain, Madrid) as a case study. Museo Reina Sofia is one of the major cultural institutions devoted to the rethinking the art institution, its publics and what is at stake in the current museum in a global scenario. The lecture will address the transformations of cinema throughout the museum's main activities: history being discussed in collection display, the laboratory of image-making in the temporary exhibitions and the museum as an alternative cinematheque in the regular film programming.
