| Summary: | ‘Téléthèque, Encontros Videográficos’ was a video art cycle featuring projections and public talks with their respective authors. It took place approximately once per month throughout the year 2010, at the Institut Français du Portugal (Lisbon) and was organised by Plataforma Ma. Following this cycle, it became clear that the centres of contemporary art could or should have modules with similar characteristics to those of the Téléthèque. This text begins by explaining very briefly what the cycle consisted of and what motivated it. This is followed by a brief observation of similar projects, with characteristics that are relevant to critical thinking on artistic practices and curatorship and, in this context, the relevance and the advantages that this kind of module can bring: starting by the strengthen of an artistic community, forging ties with the local community, to provide space for the understanding and interpretation of actions/works of contemporary art, and also as a way of documenting and cataloguing art works.
