On Collecting
summary
Private collection of about 650 works concentrates on time‑based media, housed in a 2,500 m² converted 1907 factory with two exhibition floors, cinema and basement storage. Acquisition strategy pairs historical video pioneers with emerging media artists, follows individual artists over years, and targets key large‑scale installations rather than single works. Collection excludes not net art — pieces require site‑specific installation. Examples cited: missing Douglas Gordon piece Play Dead Real Time (still viewed in museums), Sturtevant’s 2011 Elastic Tango (Venice showing) and Helen Martin’s 2012 animation Avandeas.
