After viewing Nan Goldin’s pair of slideshows, Memory Lost and Sirens, at Marian Goodman Gallery in 2019, Moderna Museet chief curator Fredrik Liew thought, She’s a filmmaker. So, during the early months of the pandemic, Liew proposed a retrospective presenting Goldin’s slideshows through a filmmaking lens. “I had no idea how she would respond to that,” Liew says. The artist was not only game, but she had been discussing the exact same idea with her studio. “I make films out of stills and I have the freedom to re-edit and update, which films don’t have,” she said. Now on view, each of the resulting six slideshows is freshly edited and has not been shown previously. It marks Goldin’s first museum exhibition since launching PAIN (Prescription Addiction Intervention Now), the activist organization responsible for expunging the Sackler dynasty from the art world. —Kate Dwyer
