Can I do that? Can that be something that you can learn? How did questions function differently between Eastern versus Western intellectual traditions? What role do you think embodied questions those we explore through doing rather than thinking play in developing wisdom? What's on the other side of the hill? What happens if you go to the end? What's the origin of this? How should one think about the exploratory in one's life? Is there anything that you would add to your list of 15 statements that define what makes a quality question? Is there a qualitative difference between the questions humans are asking and the questions our AI systems are beginning to formulate? What do you think would help them get there? Any idea on a forcing function on how we get them [LLMs] to ask the better questions so that they might improve in that direction? What were some novel questions that broke your brain at the time in thinking about this 10,000-year clock or beyond? What's it good for? What would you use it for? What else could you do over the long term for 10,000 years? How do you transmit values over time? How do you evolve values that need to change, and how do you make a difference? How do even know what you don't want to change? What do you want to continue? What's the most essential aspects of our civilization that we don't want to go away? What are the rules? What is the system? How do you pass things along in time and not change the ones you don't wanna change, and make sure you change the ones that are more adaptable so they can adapt? What do you think about questioning itself as an art form? How has being a photographer influenced the way you question reality, visually compared to verbally? Are you a photographer that takes photos or makes photos? What will happen? What will happen next? What are your right now questions that you are wrestling with or working with in your life? Can someone else do what I'm trying to do here? Am I more me in doing my art or more me in doing the writing? Do you have any other thoughts or encouragement about questions that we haven't explored? What makes a good question? How do you ask a good question? What questions do you dwell on to be in purposeful imbalance? What is your practice in embracing the inefficient nature of questions to achieve breakthroughs? What are the new hills you can build and frontiers you can explore? How can you use your curiosity and humanity to pursue questions that trend toward the fringes?…

How does one build a collection today, that is both in tune with the times and relevant for the future? What are good working models for making the collection an active part of the organization? In March of 2014 Grafikens Hus in Mariefred burned down to the ground. This extreme situation ignited many questions, among them how does one build a new collection today? In collaboration with Riksutställningar (the Swedish Exhibition Agency), Grafikens Hus has organized four talks around these questions to take place during 2015. Among partners in this conversation series are Magasin III, Nationalmuseum, Marabouparken konsthall and Eskilstuna konstmuseum. International guests will be invited to reflect on these issues. Participants: Elvira Dyangani Ose, Goldsmiths University of London, and Gothenburg International Biennial for Contemporary Art.

Museum director David Neuman has invited two of Sweden’s experts on Ernst Josephson, Ulf Abel and Peter Cornell, to discuss one of the artist’s drawings, which has recently become part of our collection. It is one in a series of over 100 drawings called “andeprotokoll,” which Josephson created during a time of mental illness. They are a sort of record of spiritual visitations, all of which follow a fixed format. Moderator: David Neuman, Museum Director, Magasin III and Affiliated Professor, Stockholm University. Participants: Ulf Abel holds a doctorate in art history. He has worked for many years at Nationalmuseum, where he was responsible for the icon collection. Among Abel’s areas of research are Byzantine and Russian art, as well as early 20th century Swedish art. His publications include Ikonen – bilden av det heliga, Nationalmuseum Icons, Ikonen – den besjälade bilden and Ernst Josephson. Peter Cornell is an art critic and former professor of Modern Art Theory and the History of Ideas at Konstfack (The University College of Arts, Crafts and Design) and The Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm.

British musician James Leyland Kirby talks about his album An Empty Bliss Beyond This World, released in 2011 under the name of The Caretaker. Made solely from sampled gramophone records of pre-war ballroom music, it reflects the artist’s ongoing interest in what happens when our minds and memories begin to deteriorate. Recent research has shown that for Alzheimer’s sufferers, music can act as a trigger to reawaken lost memories, and this has been a starting point for Kirby’s exploration of the mind and how it operates. The album was played in its entirety as part of Magasin 3’s exhibition On the Tip of My Tongue, on one occassion only. On a Sunday afternoon in October 2013, it could be heard inside the old ice-skating pavillion at Kastellholmen in central Stockholm.…

How does art affect us? And what function does art serve in a public space? And what can the humanities do for economics? As part of a collaborative project to bring new perspectives into the academic environment, the Stockholm School of Economics and Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall launched a program that presents film-based artworks in the school’s Atrium, in May 2013. Since then there has been a growing debate in the media about the relationship between the humanities and the business sector. A panel of participants from the Stockholm School of Economics, Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall and the Stockholm art scene, address the role of art in society. Panel: Kristina Möster, Project leader, Public Art Agency Sweden; Ann-Sofi Sidén, Artist and Professor, The Royal Institute of Arts, Stockholm; Lars Strannegård, Vice President and Professor, Stockholm School of Economics; Nina Øverli, Assistant Curator, Magasin 3, and curator of the film program at the School of Economics.

45:58

A Venture into the Unconscious Canadian artist Tamara Henderson talks with curators Richard Julin and Tessa Praun about the films and sculptures included in the exhibition On the Tip of My Tongue. Henderson allows herself to be led by her unconscious. Her working method transforms dreams, fragments and impulses into real action, as she deliberately sidesteps the control of a self-censoring mind. Her work opens up to another level of experiencing that we instinctively recognize – but that is hard to articulate. In this conversation, the listener is brought closer to the particular state of mind from which these works originate. Tamara Henderson is a recent graduate from the Royal Art Academy in Stockholm. Last year her work was shown at Documenta 13, Kassel and at the Frankfurter Kunstverein, Germany. Earlier this year she had a solo show at Kunstverein Nürnberg. She was nominated for this year’s Canadian Sobey Art Award.…

Extracts from a conversation between the French artist Pierre Huyghe (born 1962) and Curators Richard Julin and Tessa Praun. The experience of seeing Pierre Huyghe’s work Untilled at Documenta 13 in 2012, has been the key source of inspiration in the making of the exhibition On the Tip of My Tongue. In this conversation, amongst many things, Pierre Huyghe and the curators talk about cutting out the spectator and reflect on the implications that this idea may have on exhibition making. Pierre Huyghe’s work, which includes film, installation and public interventions, often take the form of constructed systems that are as unscripted as living organisms. Through his work, Huyghe is able to conjure up quite otherworldly realms in which his artworks appear freed from the constraints of accepted reality.…

49:44

LifeArt – Can life itself be art? The stylization of life is currently a common trend—from stem cell research to cosmetic surgery, and from life-coaches to the politics of everyday life. In this lecture, Mr. Brand addresses the construction of life situations and experiences as a new medium for art. He approaches this subject through artists such as Tino Sehgal, Marina Abramovi? and others who abandon the usual and traditional art objects and attempt to shape life through direct encounters in which the encounter and life itself constitutes the art. Dr. Roy Brand is a Lecturer of Philosophy at the Graduate School of Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, and the Director and Chief Curator of Yaffo 23 – a center for contemporary art and culture in Jerusalem. He is the editor and translator of Philosophy in a Time of Terror: Dialogues with Habermas and Derrida, and editor and consultant curator of Bare Life: Contemporary Art Reflecting on the State of Emergency. His book LoveKnowledge: The Life of Philosophy from Socrates to Derrida, was published in 2012 by Columbia University Press; and he currently works on LifeArt: on the Stylization of Life in Culture and Art.

On April 5th 2013, Magasin 3 invited the Los Angeles-based artist Chris Burden to Stockholm to give an artist talk coinciding with his exhibition. The legendary artist spoke about his artistic practice, addressing both his new works and how he relates to his earlier performances. Burden specifically discussed works that are in the collection at Magasin 3, many of which propose technical solutions for man’s movement through space. Chris Burden has been active artistically since the 1970s, when he achieved notoriety for controversial performances in which he put his personal safety at risk. These works often went on for several days, and to a closed audience, which even in that day fostered a sense of legend and myth around the artist’s works.

Lecture: Cecilia Sjöholm. von Hausswolff’s Technologies: a Foucauldian reading 44:28

Towards the end of his life Michel Foucault became interested in the power he linked to ‘technologies of the self’. One could say that Foucault try to formulate the self like a moral driving force outside of the system with which the individual is coded, socially and politically. Can one analyse Annika von Hausswolff’s images under this lense? Which conflicts are evident in her work? The lecture looks at von Hausswolff’s images using the notions of Foucault.

In his lecture Leif Wigh talked about the technological and stylistic developments of photographic history’s different periods using examples from the exhibition. During the second half of the 19th century Julia Margaret Cameron developed a very personal artistic approach using the technology of her time. At first glance one could think that the Czech artist Miroslav Tichy was inspired by her approach.

Matti Kallioinen is the artist behind the installation The Beautiful Robot, which was on view outside Magasin 3 over the fall of 2007. Kallioinia is the name of the performance duo that Matti forms together with his brother Simon. The act made the journey from Berlin and Rotterdam respectively to Magasin III for an exclusive and much anticipated performance of their fantasy space-age electro music. When we create our music it is like following a trail of images and emotions to places we have never been before. I want Kallioinia’s music to perform a kind of abstract puppet theatre inside the head of the listener. The visual element of our performance is a framework for the images and the stories generated by the music. (Matti Kallioinen) Recorded November 2, 2007 in Magasin 3, Stockholm…

Panel discussion: Charles Esche, David Neuman and Maria Lind. What is the New Role of Collections? 2 54:38

54:38

In the 20th century, museums moved away from their roles as bearers of classical culture and collectors of historical knowledge towards becoming active players in contemporary culture through fast projects, commissioned art works, residencies and other forms of support for artists. Can the design, presentation and development of collections become part of this leap towards the production of new works, or will collections be sidelined by the expressions of contemporary art? Have private collections and institutions taken over part of the traditional role of the public museum in Europe as well? If so, how will this affect the relationship between artists and their financial backers and intermediaries? The discussion at Magasin 3 is part of IASPIS series of seminars Tendencies in time.
