The seminar The Boundary Condition: About the Archive and Its Limits, directed by Maite Muñoz, was one of the events marking the 10th anniversary of the founding of the Study Center at Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona – MACBA, in 2018 The aim was to examine the factors that shape the difficult definition of the concept of the archive in the present, in relation to the ripples and echoes produced between what we consider an archive and what remains around it, yet outside of it.
In this seminar, I participated in a roundtable discussion alongside Diana Franssen, curator and head of research at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven (Netherlands).
