Halbreich, Sune Nordgren, Hans Ulrich Obrist , Nikolaus Schafhausen, Bart De
Baere, Sjarel Ex (amongst others) .

Organized by Mondriaan Foundation, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and Metropolis
M, Bimonthly Magazine on Contemporary Art

What is the position of a Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in today's
changing society? What are the demands it sees itself confronted with? How
should it respond to the changing circumstances in art and society? One
thing is clear: the typical modernistic l'art pour l'art practice of the
20th century museum no longer seems to apply. The need is for a new, open
and flexible museum practice, focusing on new art, new audiences, new
technologies and new functions.

Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Mondriaan Foundation and Metropolis M
present a day of lectures, conversations and debates on the museum of the
future. International curators, museum directors en theorists give their
view on the choices the museum of the 21st century has to make.

English spoken day program (40 euro): Scott Lash, Thierry de Duve, Boris
Groys, Charles Esche, Kathy Halbreich, Sune Nordgren, Hans Ulrich Obrist,
Nikolaus Schafhausen
