sintesi del comunicato stampa

Recent changes in society, globalization, and the increasing significance of the media are a mix that presents the museum of the twenty-first century with new challenges. The museum's role as a public space demands redefinition. In this context, more and more importance is being attached to communication and mediation. The impact of these developments on the museum of contemporary art is the subject of a new series of talks 'Museum Public'. Mediation has become an essential aspect of museum work. This is a circumstance reflected in various formats in the institutional as well as the non-institutional area. Relevant mediation work is today no longer directed solely towards an educated elite, but addresses a substantially wider public. The title 'Educational Turn' refers to the increasing importance of and changes in education, knowledge production and research in contemporary art. To an ever greater degree, museums and exhibitions have become places of training and research where current topics are debated and forms of knowledge are negotiated. The consequences of these developments for artistic practise and new ways of shaping institutional research and mediation worldwide will be discussed by: Tania Bruguera (artist, b. 1968 in Cuba, lives in New York) Maria Hlavajova (b. 1971 in Bratislava founder and artistic director of BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht) Simon Njami (curator, author and art critic, b. 1962 in Cameroon, lives in Paris). Moderation: Nikolaus Hirsch (Director, Stadelschule/Portikus).
