Invitation Conference Global Museum 30.09. - 01.10.19

Global Museum: Where Do We Go From Here?

30 September – 1 October 2019

Hamburger Bahnhof – Museum für Gegenwart – Berlin

A conference organised by the Nationalgalerie – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin in cooperation with the German Federal Cultural Foundation, and kind support of the Freunde der Nationalgalerie e.V.

In memoriam Okwui Enwezor

Based on the funding initiative »Global Museum« of the German Federal Cultural Foundation with the participating museums Nationalgalerie – Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen in Düsseldorf, MMK Museum für moderne Kunst in Frankfurt (Main) and Städtische Galerie im Lenbachhaus und Kunstbau München

»Global Museum« stands for the critical examination of the collections of several museums in Germany and, by extension, the western-centric canon of art, which is reflected in the origin, acquisition and display of their collections. It affected and continues to affect their programming, institutional co-operations, collaborations, overall structure and personnel. A critique of this canon accordingly calls for a critique of all these institutional facets.

»Global Museum: Where do we go from here?« aims to review the past exhibitions and their reception, as well as their role in more wide-ranging discussions regarding a fundamental shift in our reimagining of art and its institutions. It is also about developing future perspectives: How can museums change course in the long term? Can the processes initiated by »Museum Global« be become part of the institutions’ structure? How can networks be expanded and put to good use by institutions, and what can institutions learn from artists’ networks? What impact can and should the programme have on these institutions in the long run? What plans and wishes are there, what resources are already available or need to be generated? What structures are necessary to do this, which ones would have to be changed or expanded? How do we make the transition from wish to intention, and from intention to implementation?

The conference will be in English, with simultaneous translation into German. It is open to the public; admission is free. To register, please send an email to: service@smb.museum, stating your name and address, by 26 September 2019.

PANEL 1:
Learning from Artists’ Networks

10.30 am – 01.00 pm

Public museums and artists’ networks differ in terms of organisation and working methods. What can museums learn from them if they want to establish and sustainably maintain their own transnational networks? What kinds of collaborations and alliances do artists engage in – historically and today? Can these processes be applied to museums and museum-like institutions?

02.00 pm – 04.30 pm

Moving Forwards: What Do Museums Want? What Do They Need?
