really wonderful panel about #discomfort with the wonderful Sanchita Balachandran (@sanchita_writes) which talked about the survival of culture even if museums are underwater - taking a #longview on #slowdisasters #ReshapingTheCollectible

Guillermo Gómez-Peña’s invitation: “I invite you, dear foreigner in my performance country, to dream with me... coexisting in synergy with nature, radical imagination and community – your surrounding multiple communities. Do you have ideas to propose for a museum of the future?”

[Tate Research @TateResearch]

The final session is a special performance by Guillermo Gómez-Peña @pochanostra followed by a retreat to write your own letter to the museums of the future, facilitated by Emma Tramposch, Managing Director & Curator of the Living Archives, La Pocha Nostra #ReshapingTheCollectible

Very much enjoying #reshapingthecollectible conference @TateResearch. About to convene a session with @fdrubio1977 and #hannahgeddes about making the invisible visible, and am reading #sanchitabalachandran about the museum of the future: https://t.co/7P5xxsNrOS

Looking forward to this tomorrow! Rethinking Memory Towards Radical Museum Futures at 12.05 BST: How does our idea of the future affect how we think about the transmission of contemporary art? How do memory ecologies contribute to those possible futures? #ReshapingTheCollectible

[Sarah Cook @sarahecook]

the discussion with Val Ravaglia has brought up the unwanted sensory effects of artworks (sounds, smells) not only on visitors but on front of house staff in the galleries. we are well into the arena of #unruly, #lively, and #uncomfortable artworks #reshapingthecollectible

[Patricia Falcao @PatriciaMFalcao]

@lawsonlouise1 and Tony Conrad’s Ten Years Alice on the Infinite plain @tateliverpool #reshapingthecollectible #flexfutureTBMA

[Sarah Cook @sarahecook]

Gala Porras-Kim is also talking about materials that are hanging around 'waiting' to become artworks (i.e. Dan #Flavin flourescent tube lights) and artworks which decay while on exhibit. I LOVE works like this (to use a word from our first panel #ReshapingTheCollectible) #lively

[IHC @ihc_fcsh]

Our @HeliaMarcal will convene the session "Rethinking Memory Towards Radical Museum Futures". #ReshapingTheCollectible

[Tate Research @TateResearch]

Artist Gala Porras-Kim now considers ‘the agency
of historical objects that continue their perpetual function despite their current condition in historical collections’, and instances museum staff becoming implicated beyond an object’s care and display #ReshapingTheCollectible

[Sarah Cook @sarahecook]

In the conversation w/ Libby Ireland & Jack McConchie (@Datapotatoes), artist Ima-Abasi Okon mentioned key learning moments about the nuances of the long-term care of art, & seeing attention to works (incl. Barbara Hepworth) in the conservation lab @Tate #reshapingthecollectible

[Sarah Cook @sarahecook]

this discussion as part of #reshapingthecollectible is about inherited practices (in the museum) and I've just heard the word "begrudgement"; artist Ima-Abasi Okon asks, how we can support each other to "do well" without imposing an obligation?
