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.
In this DokuTalk session, curator Pamela Cohn will engage with special festival guests, Maryam Tafakory and Morgan Quaintance, in a free-ranging conversation about their artistic practices, inspirations, working methodologies with original footage as well as archive, and why they've found moving image to be the best form for their artistic expression. Short clips will be shown with time left for dialogue with the audience.
