Neil Cummings presents 'Museum Futures: Distributed' at The Cockpit Theatre
Neil Cummings will present the film 'Museum Futures: Distributed' (32 min) at The Cockpit Theatre in London on May 31, 2023. The film, made in collaboration with Marysia Lewandowska and commissioned by Moderna Museet for Stockholm's 2008 Jubilee, is a machinima record of a centenary interview with Moderna Museet's executive Ayan Lindquist in June 2058. It re-imagines the roles of artists, museums, galleries, markets, manufactories, and academies, exploring a possible genealogy for contemporary art practice and its institutions. The screening will be followed by a discussion on imagining the future of art practice, arts institutions, and the museum.
