Contemporary Art - Creating the CanonPost an Event »
The role of art museums is changing significantly. Traditionally, repositories for exemplary pieces of art — defining what constitutes important work through acquisition — museums now commission work. Art museums are bypassing the roles of scholars, critics, galleries, patrons, and, indeed, artists themselves.
An iterative vetting process with many routes to eventual success, open to a highly varied population of artists, is becoming less complex and perhaps less accessible.
Please join us as we discuss how this affects curators, critics, artists, and all the places besides museums where art is shown, performed or installed.

All are most heartily welcome to join the dialogue.
