Museum Futures: Distributed, DVD, 2008
Neil Cummings’ and Marysia Lewandowska’s film Museum Futures: Distributed is a machinima record of the centenary interview with Moderna Museet’s executive director Ayan Lindquist set in June of 2058. It explores a possible genealogy for contemporary art practice and its institutions, by re-imagining the role of artists, museums, galleries, markets, and academies in the world dominated by a shrinking public sphere. The film was commissioned by Moderna Museet, Stockholm for their Jubilee in 2008.
