Last Tuesday, I went to the New School for a screening of Marysia Lewandowska and Neil Cumming’s 2008 film ‘Museum Futures: Distributed.’ The artists have collaborated between 1995 and 2008, in institutions such as banks, museums, galleries, archives, auction houses, universities, and department stores. Commissioned for the 50th anniversary for the Moderna Museet in Stockholm, Sweden, the film uses art world developments of the last 20 years or so to project what the next 50 years will look like for institutions–politically, socially and economically. The result is a provocative Alphaville-ian utopia/dystopia creation; purely speculative, but resonant nonetheless. It really pushes the current (and past) “glocal” art realm to a vision of hyper-globalization, commenting on digital cultural heritage, governance, open source, GPL, and as the main character states “cultural mesh works of the public domain.”
Afterwards, there was a talk with Marysia Lewandowska (who teaches at Bard CCS), Christiane Paul (Whitney New Media Curator, and Director of Media Studies at the New School, goddess) and James Hunt (Director of Interdisciplinary Graduate Initiatives at New School, incoherent blatherer).
As stipulated by the Moderna’s accession of the work, it will be published in open source on the internet, as well as on the Museum’s website after one year. I may or may not already have accessed it… Will share when possible.
