LOOP Talks 2019: ‘Moving Images, Moving Borders’

The 2019 edition of the Talks gathered together artists, curators and collectors to discuss a variety of different topics such as the crossovers between politics and art, the socialization of private institutions and collections, precarity and resistance and the preservation of cultural heritage.

Often explored by practitioners through the medium of video, the social and political implications behind shifting borders have been in the agenda of important public and private collections – when they did not coincide with the very reason for their constitution. In this conversation Romain Kronenberg (Artist, France), Sveva D’Antonio (CollezioneTaurisano, Naples) and Sébastien Gokalp (Director, National Museum for the History of Immigration, Paris) analysed the notion of ‘movement’ as a whole concept: in relation to the inherent nature of video and in regards to global migratory flows.
