THE COLLECTION – LECTURE BY JULIA STOSCHEK

In Eng­lish

20 Feb­ru­ary 2014, Thurs­day, from 6 pm in the Au­di­to­ri­um In the clo­sing week of the ex­hi­bit­ion ENT­ROPY OF A CITY – Julia Stos­c­hek Coll­ec­ti­on, the fo­un­der and owner of the coll­ec­ti­on Julia Stos­c­hek vi­sits Bu­da­pest again and holds a lec­tu­re about her coll­ec­ti­on, which, for the ten years since its est­ab­lish­ment, has fo­cu­s­ed on time-based media art.

The coll­ec­ti­on with its app­ro­xi­ma­tely 600 art pi­e­ces is hou­s­ed by a for­mer frame fac­to­ry in Dus­sel­dorf and was made pub­lic in 2007. Each year dif­fe­rent as­pects of the coll­ec­ti­on are pre­sen­ted and do­cu­men­ted in an­nu­al ex­hi­bit­ions.

Julia Stos­c­hek is a pro­fes­si­o­nal coll­ec­tor as well as a mem­ber of se­ve­ral in­ter­na­ti­o­nal Com­mit­te­es, inc­lu­ding the Board of the KW-Kunst-Werke Ber­lin,the Trus­tee Com­mit­tee of the Mus­e­um of Mo­dern Art/ PS 1 in New York, and Tate Coun­cil in Lon­don, among ot­hers. Stos­c­hek un­der­stands coll­ec­ting as a cont­ri­bu­to­ry act, which in­vol­ves ac­qui­sit­ions from con­tem­por­ary ar­tists and his­to­ri­cal po­sit­ions from the be­g­in­ning of video art.

The lec­tu­re, pre­sen­ted at the Kun­sthal­le Bu­da­pest as one of the clo­sing events of the ex­hi­bit­ion, will cover such to­pics as the mo­ti­va­tions of a coll­ec­tor and the the­ma­tic fra­me­work and pre­s­en­ta­ti­on of the coll­ec­ti­on.

The lec­tu­re will be held in Eng­lish. Free entrance
