Exhibiting Artists’ Cinema (Thursday 21st Nov. 2024), moderated by Filipa Ramos

If the beginning of the 21 st century assisted to a cinematographic turn in contemporary art, accompanied by the emergence of a cinema of exhibition, much has changed with the radical transformation of spectatorship and museum visiting habits of the last decade. New technologies of vision and of capture of images also transformed the way exhibitions are conceptualized and organised, and how research is made and shared. New formats and temporalities, hybrid disciplinary dialogues, the emergence of different circuits for the circulation of art have all changed the ways in which artists’ cinema, and its variations of styles, formats and languages, is conceived and presented. During this panel, which is composed of a group of international curators and museum directors with an outstanding experience in exhibiting time-based media, we will debate the fascinating tools and methodologies for researching, conceiving and presenting apparatuses for artists’ cinema, as well as the challenges imposed by recent changes in the arts and culture, and their impact in the strategies of museums, art centres and large-scale exhibitions.
