“New Dynamics in Museums: Curator, Artwork, Public, Governance”
Rather than on the question of what museums represent, the focus of this year’s conference “New Dynamics in Museums: Curator, Artwork, Public, Governance” will be on who the agents of representation are. Having become too extensive to be represented in the museum context in its entirety, the world is now only presentable through the forces that shape it. And the same goes for the art world, which can be less grasped encyclopedically than ever before. Art was the first to express a critical attitude to the dominant forces shaping reality, most directly with institutional critique. After being dealt with by art, museum work embraced self-reflection. The museum seems to represent the world most accurately by reflecting the dynamics of its own work, which in turn reflects the dynamics of our socioeconomic reality in general.
