Han Nefkens – TALK

Posted in: |December 12, 2014

Partners in Crime: The Artist, The Collector, The Curator, and The Museum Director

Pipilotti Rist, Han Nefkens, Claudia Segura, and Sjarel Ex in Conversation

Friday, December 19, 2014, 6–7.30pm

Hosted by SALT Galata

collectorspace is very pleased to organize a conversation among Pipilotti Rist, Han Nefkens, Sjarel Ex, and Claudia Segura. The talk is held in conjunction with the exhibition Cinquante Fifty from the Han Nefkens H+F Collection curated by Segura. Rist’s Cinquante Fifty (2000) is on long-term loan at the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam.

What are the motivations of building a contemporary art collection for a private individual and a public institution—how could these motivations be aligned? What role do collectors play in what is shown in a public museum? How could artists, curators, collectors and institutional decision-makers collaborate in bringing artworks from the artist’s studio into the public domain? Taking their cue from these questions, the participants will explore the ongoing working relationship among the four different actors who are involved in collection building.

The exhibition Cinquante Fifty from the Han Nefkens H+F Collection runs through February 14, 2015. For more information, please see the link.

Pipilotti Rist creates multimedia installations where painting, technology, music, and poetry fuse into the same space. Rist’s works have been exhibited widely at museums and festivals throughout Europe, Japan and the US, including the Centre Pompidou in Paris, the MoMA in New York, and Boijmans Van Beuningen Museum in Rotterdam, as well as the biennials in Sao Paulo, Venice, Istanbul, the Caribbean and Sante Fe. Rist’s first feature-length film Pepperminta was premiered in September 2009.

Han Nefkens is a writer and art patron based in Barcelona. In 2001, Nefkens started the H+F Collection of contemporary art, including works by Jeff Wall, Bill Viola, Shirin Neshat, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres among others. Based on the notion of patronage, Nefkens initiated several projects, including Han Nefkens Fashion on the Edge, Han Nefkens Curatorial Grant, and ArtAids—all aiming to undertake new artistic productions and stage them in the public realm.

Claudia Segura is an independent curator and researcher based in Bogota and Barcelona. She currently works on research-led exhibitions, including the Biennial of the Frontiers, México (2015) and the 3rd Mardin Biennial, Turkey (2015). Recent curatorial projects include: Micro-actions of emergency, Adn Platform, Barcelona (2013–2014), Copy/Paste – Recodifying the gesture, Instituto Cervantes of London (2013), and Atenció: Obres d’Art, Barcelona (2009–2011).

Sjarel Ex is the director of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam. Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen organizes 25 exhibitions per year, varying from old masters to contemporary art. Ex has revived the museum’s partnerships with private collectors and patrons and has given a new direction to its educational program. Ex has been a committee member or advisor for many institutions, including the Mondriaan Foundation, the Netherlands Foundation for Visual Arts, Fonds BKVB, and Rijksakademie. Ex curated La La La Human Steps: A Selection from the Collection of Musuem Boijmans Van Beuningen at Istanbul Modern in 2012.
