Duration: 39 min. Language: English.
"Something of our own selves: talking archives"
In conjunction with the exhibition Christian Boltanski "Les archives" an evening was arranged around the theme of "heart and archive". Sue Breakell takes as her starting point Boltanski's use of archival forms and practices, and offers an archivist's perspective on the nature and meaning of archives in contemporary culture. She also considers the generative possibilities of the use of archives in art practice, and the particular ways in which such traces speak to the individual experience of the viewer through a kind of "microhistory".

"Von Hausswolff's Technologies: a Foucauldian reading"
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.
Lecture by Leif Wigh, former curator at Moderna museet. February 14, 2008.
Duration: 80 min. Language: Swedish.
"A look at the past. About older photographic technology and its users, 1839-1980"
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. His self-constructed cameras are particulary exciting. There was also a trend among image-makers of the 1970's of using old-fashioned cameras in order to achieve certain effects and moods in their images.
Kallioinia in consert, November 2, 2007. Duration: 35.38 min.
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 3 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)

"What is the new role of collections?"?
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".
