Product description
Author: Katarzyna Jagodzińska
The museum boom in Central Europe has been going on continuously since the 1990s. New museums of modern and contemporary art, art centres and galleries are being built, and new wings and branches of existing art museums are being opened. The constantly changing ecosystem of art institutions is an integral part of the global boom, but it has its own special face related to the historical conditions of our region. Central Europe suddenly, violently and massively began to fill with projects and then implementations of new places for art – their presence created unprecedented opportunities in the presentation of collections, organisation of exhibitions and other programme activities, ensured appropriate conditions for storing collections, and increased the comfort of visitors. At the same time, the philosophy of museums' operation also changed, which is summarised in the keywords: openness, involvement, participation. The book consists of the voices of directors, owners and curators of selected institutions, as well as collectors and researchers from the Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia and Hungary. The topic of the interviews is change – the change taking place in institutions and the change in the context in which they operate, both physical, social, economic and political.
‘It is worth reading these interviews and conversations not as a complaint about the problems typical of this part of Europe, but as a vision of the future and an encouragement to transform museums into areas of integration of arts, sciences, fantasy and therapy. Especially since the place of the museum in the environment of the region, city and space nature, is currently changing very rapidly’. – Dorota Folga-Januszewska
