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.
