In the unrivaled setting of Richard Serra’s The Matter of Time, the Museum offers an accessible integral yoga class for all levels, from beginner to advanced. The class will begin when the Museum is still closed, thus creating the special and quiet atmosphere that yoga requires. Serra’s sculptures will be used as a source of inspiration for participants to gently explore such powerful concepts as presence, gravity, and balance. By doing breathing exercises and trying integral yoga poses, you will find balance between mind and body, and establish a deeper connection to yourself and the world around you. The class will end with a short meditation to give you the peace and balance you need on a Sunday.
Conducted by: Vanesa Cuesta
Duration: 90 min.

Introduction
The earliest motion pictures date back to 1895. They were screened in fairs by precursors like George Méliès and the Lumière Brothers. Confined within the realm of popular culture, cinema rose to the form of art in the first decades of the twentieth century thanks to pioneering filmmakers such as D. W. Griffith. However, it would take a few more decades for films to make their way into museums. This would only happen after the emergence of digital media, in the later decades of the twentieth century. Before, their humble origins kept films within the sphere of low culture, unable to cross the line that separated entertainment from art.
Even though the avant-garde and surrealism explored the expressive possibilities of cinema in their creative experiences, and despite the existence of experimental film, the dominance of Hollywood and the American film industry kept films away from museums of contemporary and modern art for decades. Ironically enough, it was only when it went from celluloid to digital that cinema found its way to museum galleries and exhibitions.
Contents and Method
The course is divided into four modules, each module revolving round a key film.
Module I: Une visite au Louvre, by Danièle Huillet and Jean-Marie Straub (France, 2003).
Module II: Russian Ark, by Alexander Sokurov (Russia-Germany, 2002)
Module III: The Square, by Ruben Östlund (Sweden, 2017).
Module IV: Vertigo, by Alfred Hitchcock (United States, 1958).
Each module will consist of a discussion of the corresponding film in context, followed by an analysis of the connections between the film and the museum featured in it.
In the video lessons, other examples will be provided of film/museum matches, which will offer a wider view of the changes in narratives, uses, and creations in the history of film.
Each module will use a different combination of methods and media, including films, images, and texts.
Participants are encouraged to watch the films on their own before the course starts, if they have never watched them before.

In this online course, we will explore the relationship between films and museums, revisiting some of the most remarkable moments of the dialogue between them.
