An interview with the curator Lena Essling (unfortunately in Swedish)
A day with "moving images".
First, the Japanese artist Tabaimo who, for us, displayed surrealistic short stories, sometimes becoming a bit too Freudian for our taste. It was though entertaining, something quite rare for films shown in museums.
Play was a less convincing atempt to show Moderna Museet's collection of moving pieces of art.
The good surprise was that Gunnar and I had seen at least 5 works from past exhibitions (Kentridge, Rist, Eggeling, Just, Calder).
In other words, we were not as illiterate as we at first had thought.
To watch, hear and focus while other people are walking, other films are "making noise", made this enterprise difficult to fully appreciate.
I hope we will be given the opportunity to experience them during different conditions next time...
