PREVIOUS PROGRAM
SEMINAR: CURATING STORIES
WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 30 FROM 5PM-7PM
Welcome to the seminar Curating Stories, a collaboration between Magasin 3 and students at the International Curating Art Program at Stockholm University.
In connection to Andrea Zittel’s show Lay of My Land, we are hosting a panel discussion that will examine creativity in curating from the perspective of storytelling.
The role of the curator has changed dramatically over the past decade. Trends towards institutionalization have prompted a critical re-evaluation of its significance, and this has, in turn, put the creative aspects of the curatorial practice into the spotlight.
The seminar will examine how this creativity manifests itself through storytelling. Whether taken literally or otherwise, what kind of implications do these stories have for Curators, Artists, Artworks, Spaces, Audiences and Society at large? The discussion will also circle around the responsibility of a story to decrypt works of art and the importance of storytelling in different contexts as seen through the eyes of different curators.
The panel consists of: Richard Julin, Deputy Director and Chief Curator at Magasin 3; Magdalena Malm, Artistic Director at Mobile Art Productions; Bo Nilsson, Artistic Director at Artipelag and Liv Stoltz, independent curator. The panel represents both the institutional and non-institutional spheres. They will share their knowledge and experiences in a discussion led by Moderator, Anders Karnell. Anders is the Art Editor of Nöjesguiden magazine, and also works as a Pedagog at Moderna Museet.

LECTURE: MARIJKE VAN WARMERDAM “EYECATCHER”
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 23 AT 4PM
In her lecture “Eyecatcher” Marijke van Warmerdam talks about her films, photographs and sculptures since the early 1990s. In her work she focuses on the seemingly insignificant and allows these occurrences to widen and deepen into poetic studies. During fall 2011 Magasin 3 presents a selection of van Warmerdam’s films.
Marijke van Warmerdam was born in 1959 in Nieuwer Amstel in the Netherlands. She has had numerous solo exhibitions, including the Venice Biennale and institutions such as Wiener Secession, Museum Ludwig in Cologne, ICA in Boston, and the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven. Her collected works can be seen in a large traveling retrospective starting at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam this fall.

LECTURE: ANDREA ZITTEL
FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 9 AT 4PM
The artist talks about her work and how she uses her home and studio A–Z West in Joshua Tree, California to explore ideas about what humans need for survival.
Since the early 1990s, I have used the arena of my day to day life to develop and test prototypes for living structures and situations. By using myself as a guinea pig I often use my own experiences to try to construct an understanding of the world at large. The experiments have at times been extreme – such as wearing a uniform for months on end, exploring limitations of living space, living without measured time. However one of the most important goals of this work is to illuminate how we attribute significance to chosen structures or ways of life, and how arbitrary any choice of structure can be. I do not mean to deny the personal significance of these decisions, instead, I use my work in order to try to comprehend values such as “freedom,” “security,” “authorship,” and “expertise.” I am interested in how qualities, which we feel are totally concrete and rational, are often subjective, arbitrary or invented.
/Andrea Zittel

LECTURE BY JERZY J. KIERKUC-BIELINSKI
THURSDAY NOVEMBER 25 AT 6 PM
Sir John Soane: Architecture, Collecting and ‘…the Museum of museums…’
Sir John Soane (1753-1837) was one of the most innovative and forward thinking architects in British history. He was also one of Britain’s most important collectors of art and antiquities creating unprecedented installations of objects within his house. These have provided inspiration for many contemporary artists. Whilst looking at Soane’s architectural career this lecture will also focus on his equally important role as a collector.
Jerzy J. Kierkuć-Bieliński is curator at Sir John Soane’s Museum in London. Richard Julin, Deputy Director at Magasin 3, will open the lecture by presenting the Magasin 3 collection. Language: English. Free admission. Welcome!

ABOUT PORTRAITS – GUIDED TOUR
THURSDAY NOVEMBER 11 AT 6 PM
What do I look like? What am I like? Who am I? Faces are used to comunicate, be recognized, or be sought after. In the portraits of others be mirror ourselves. Art history has traditionally been most interested in the question of who has been portrayed. In chapter I of the exhibition “Thrice upon a time” that question is secondary. In this part of the exhibition curator Elisabeth Millqvist has extended the definition and focuses on portraits as contemporary subject matter.
Curator Elisabeth Millqvist gives a special viewing of the exhibition together with invited guests; Karin Sidén who has a PhD in art history and is a curator at Nationalmuseum, Stockholm as well as the artists Gunnel Wåhlstrand, Matts Leiderstam and Cecilia Edefalk who participate in the current exhibition at Magasin 3.
Language: Swedish. Limited number of participants. The tour is included in the entrance fee.
