Change, symbolised with The Tower, raises unavoidable questions: ‘who decides who decides’ and ‘what do we spare, what do we let go’? To stimulate this reflection and help us deconstruct to better reconstruct our institution - our “tower” - we’ve assembled a two-part film screening programme from the argos collection. The first part focuses on the power dynamics within art institutions and the second is a poetic note on the physicality of such a space.
