This meeting will propose a series of questions surrounding the production, presentation, and distribution of time-based work, including moving-image and performance. In addition to the usual institution commissions and artist grants for pro-ducing new work, what alternative models exist, and can we imagine to ensure the stability of these mediums and their makers and programmers?<br />
Increasingly, moving-image artists are finding platforms to share their work through streaming services such as MUBI and Shasha. Recently, Performance Exchange was established in London as a dispersed platform for performance art in commercial galleries. More and more, fashion houses are becoming the new patrons for video art. As a group, what pro-posals do we have for creatively funding projects and creating long-term support structures? What can we learn from the theater, film, and/or music industries? What other approaches towards collecting, commissioning, and collaborating can we imagine?<br />

Théo-Mario Coppola
- Curator
Théo-Mario Coppola is a curator and arts writer. They are currently based in Paris, France.
Viewing aesthetic issues as inherently tied to social struggles, Théo-Mario Coppola’s curatorial and critical practice engages with research-based, experimental, narrative and political forms. The projects they have conducted deal with experiences of concrete utopia, personal and collective narratives of emancipation, as well as initiatives of resistance, and examine how these enable the transformation of values in art, governance and society.
Their recent curated exhibitions and programmes include three annual chapters of the HOTEL EUROPA series in various cities across Europe between 2017 and 2019, the third edition of the Nuit Blanche arts festival at Villa Medici in Rome, Italy, in 2018, and the eleventh edition of the MOMENTUM biennale in Moss, Norway, in 2021.
Théo-Mario Coppola has contributed to catalogues, magazines and online publications. They regularly lecture on radical aesthetic practices at art schools and universities.
