Another end of the world is possible. Art and politics in the situated museum. Interview with Ana Longoni

Abstract

Luis Ignacio García interviews the writer, researcher and curator Ana Longoni from a distance and virtually. The conversation assumes and tries to explore the limits of the technical mediation that has framed most of our exchanges in the teaching and research activity in this complex year. The topics addressed cover the multiplicity of facets of Longoni's production and action around the tensions between art and politics, with special emphasis on her work in recent years as Director of Public Activities at the Reina Sofía Museum, and especially on the policies deployed by the museum throughout the pandemic. The expanded forms of a situated, networked and feminist museum for which Longoni works in its concrete praxis and management were at the center of the exchange. The following text transcribes the conversation, adapting it to the writing, but trying to maintain the fluidity and rhythm of the orality from which it starts.
