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 es una comisaria especializada en arte contemporáneo y time-based art. Su enfoque curatorial está impulsado por el artista y busca amplificar las prácticas transdisciplinares de todo el mundo que se involucran en formas de investigación crítica y storytelling. Desde 2018 hasta 2025, Long fue Directora Artística y Comisaria de la Julia Stoschek Foundation, una de las mayores fundaciones privadas de time-based art en el mundo. Actualmente, Long actúa como fundadora y directora de Companion Culture, una agencia curatorial que fomenta proyectos a la vanguardia del arte contemporáneo, conectando empresas, fundaciones, empresarios y mecenas con artistas e instituciones.
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.
