Through a series of roundtable discussions gathering together international art professionals, the LOOP Talks 2018 provided the space to debate and exchange ideas on contemporary modes of production or the cluster of acknowledged practices and concepts that form a context within which the moving image is used and circulated.
What happens when the process of (cultural) production is considered within a curatorial framework? How do different voices, desires and needs of artists, curators and institutions negotiate a space of collaboration an the generation of meaning? Beginning in March 2019, the Julia Stoschek Collection’s programme Horizontal Vertigo in part speaks to the questions. In this talk, Monika Kerkmann (Director, JSC) and Lisa Long (Curator, JSC) discussed the various forms of production represented in the programme at this prominent institution dedicated to time-based art.
Lisa Long és una comissària especialitzada en art contemporani i time-based art. El seu enfocament curatorial és impulsat per l’artista i busca amplificar les pràctiques transdisciplinàries de tot el món que s’impliquen en formes d’investigació crítica i storytelling. Des de 2018 fins a 2025, Long va exercir com a Directora Artística i Comissària de la Julia Stoschek Foundation, una de les fundacions privades més grans del món dedicades al time-based art. Actualment Long actua com a fundadora i directora de Companion Culture, una agència curatorial que fomenta projectes a l’avantguarda de l’art contemporani, connectant empreses, fundacions, empresaris i mecènics amb artistes i institucions.
Monika Kerkmann studied Art history, archaelogy and philosophy at the University of Cologne from 1998-2004. Since 2006 she works as a research and curatorial assistant at the Julia Stoschek Collection in Düsseldorf. Since June 2015 she is Director of the Julia Stoschek Collection Düsseldorf and Berlin.
