ZKM | Center for Art and Media Karlsruhe

With the conference Where is Art Contemporary? The Global Challenge of Art Museums II the ZKM is bringing representatives together from museums all over the globe. They have been invited by the ZKM to state the situation as they see it concerning the museum as an art institution today, relating experiences that are often entirely different than those we encounter in this country. Presently many theories exist regarding what a museum of art is, is not, or should be. But normally we are not aware of what the practice of art museums looks like that must operate with an entirely different concept of art, one that is not exclusively western.
