PAF will present the first of the planned series of discussions, in the long term related to curatorial principles when working with moving image in various environments of its application. The selected contributions aim to describe the current situation on curatorial examples while trying to articulate the specifics related to this area.
The first edition will focus on the publication of Other Visions CZ 2019 competition finalists. The curator Laura Amann will present her concept of selecting ten works as part of the competition mapping the Czech production of moving images for the thirteenth year. Charlotte Procter, curator of the British distribution company and gallery LUX London, will talk about examples of exhibitions and projects initiated by the organisation itself or processes for other museums and festivals. Michal Novotný, the curator of contemporary art, will present the context of the extensive exhibition cycle Orient as an example of a work with moving images. Alžběta Bačíková and Markéta Jonášová will present a one-year project for the Prague etc. gallery, called Restless Image.
