Museum Futures: live recorded distributed
commissioned by Magnus af Petersens
6 Jun 2008 - 31 Dec 2008
Moderna Museet, Stockholm Sweden
Moderna Museet, the first public Modern Art museum in europe is celebrating its centenary!
Well, not yet. It's actually the museum’s 50th anniversary, and we have been commissioned to make a new project for the Jubilee.
And, instead of reinterpreting Moderna Museet’s illustrious past - a task of mourning, we have vividly imagined the museums future - the future of all public museums. Eighteen months research, and interviews with all the key employees of the museum, from Director to maintainance staff has resulted in Museum Futures: Live, Recorded, Distributed.
The Distributed component is a machinima record of the 2058 centenary interview with the Museum's executive Ayan Lindquist, it will be screened on 6 June 2008 at the free-public celebration of the Jubilee anniversary.
