What ever happened to the collapse of art into life so enthusiastically proclaimed by artists like Allan Kaprow or the Bauhaus in the mid-twentieth century? As a booming market for contemporary art renders its value increasingly in monetary terms, and as the mass media successively 'encloses' the image world within entertainment industries, can art invent new forms of value?

Chair: David Blamey
Guests: Brian Eno and Neil Cummings

Between Censorship and Repressive Tolerance International exhibitions, public art projects and biennales have increasingly become, by design or coincidence, interventionist affairs situated in highly sensitive contexts defined by national, religious and social frictions.

Curated by Måns Wrange (CuratorLab, Konstfack, Stockholm) Marysia participated in two days of intense debate and dialogue, with twelve leading international curators and artists: Ute Meta Bauer, Luca Cerizza, Caroline Corbetta, Meg Cranston, Joshua Decter, Ronald Jones, Yu Yeon Kim, Vasif Kortun, Francesco Manacorda, Chus Martinez, Anton Vidokle. Three emerging curators from Colombia, Ethiopia and India will be guest speakers at the seminar; Meskerem Assegued, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Mariangela Mendez Prencke, Bogotà, Colombia, Suman Gopinath, Bangalore, India.

The cinema and the art museum are both entering a state of crisis with their responses to films and videos by artists. Yet more and more artists are turning to film and video. Can the art museum really collect or show works of art whose meaning is based on the principles and functional characteristics of cinema – on active distribution and general accessibility rather than passive purchase and artificial scarcity? And the cinema? Its present infrastructure is just as inadequate for the presentation and promotion of artists’ films and videos as that of the museum. Guests:

Chrissie Iles, Whitney Museum of American Art, New York: Alexander Horwath, The Austrian Film Museum, Vienna: Marysia Lewandowska, artist, London: Philippe-Alain Michaud, Centre Pompidou, Paris: Vanessa Joan Müller, Kunstverein für die Rheinlande und Westfalen, Düsseldorf
