The Moderna Museet podcast: We need to talk about video art
The collection includes some 480 art videos and films and is still growing every year; but what are its key works? And how do curators tell the good from the bad video art? Also: How come video art looks so good in toilets?
Moderna Museet will publish ten episodes of the podcast in spring 2019. Opening music: “Walk on By” by Perro Del Mar. The podcast is in Swedish.
