The museum crossing

SERIES: Visual energies between bodies and museum spaces.
SPEAKER: Antonella Greco
DATE: Tuesday, December 6, 6 p.m.
PLACE: Sala del Refettorio

Three boys run through a Louvre hall in the black-and-white frame, while three more boys sprint through the same hall in color. A memorable sequence that has gradually changed in meaning over the course of the forty years between the two movies. Godard's 1964 film Band à part, which violates the rules of a sacred space, is a real outrage against bourgeois morality. A performance held in a modern museum would be analogous to Bertolucci's in I Dreamers, 2003. How long did it take the museum to cross, and what elements—theatrical, engulfing, communicating, interactive, emotional—helped it change from a neutral storehouse of "dead" artifacts into a live environment?
