Exhibiting Structural Film? Annette Michelson, Between Criticism and Curating

Widely known as an early editor of Artforum before going on to found the journal October together with Rosalind Krauss in 1976, in parallel to her main activities as a critic, editor, translator, and professor, Annette Michelson also participated—if we allow ourselves to reframe it in contem-porary terms—in the constellation of curatorial practices. In the wake of the so-called “cinematic turn” in contempo-rary art, New Forms in Film, as well as other “exhibitions” or film programs in which Michelson was involved as organizer, could shed light on the increasing interest surrounding the status of film and the moving image in the field of contem-porary art, and more specifically on the integration of experimental cinema into museum and gallery contexts, as these events represent specific historical examples of attempts to present structural cinema within the context of art spaces.
