Museum in ¿Motion? intends to trace the history 
of the critical correlation between contemporary 
art and the museum, to chart the various 
institutional responses, and to place this within 
the broader context of socio-political changes. 
The title literally refers to one of the most 
important publications of the 1970s on the museum 
discussion of that era: Museum in ¿Motion? The 
modern art museum at issue / Museum in ¿Beweging? 
Het museum voor moderne kunst ter diskussie, 
published in 1979. Speakers will discuss the 
fundamental changes that have occurred since its 
publication precisely one quarter of a century 
ago.

Are museums still confronted with the same 
problems? When precisely did the dream of the 
mobile or living museum come into being? Which 
forms and strategies of mobility have so far been 
developed? Where does the real motion stop and 
rhetoric come in? Is the critical relationship 
between art and the museum still a subject of 
discussion? Do the massive socio-political 
changes in our society confront the museum with a 
much bigger challenge? How are we to define the 
future role of the museum of contemporary art, 
being a pre-eminent public institution?

The conference Museum in ¿Motion? comprises two 
meeting formats. On Friday 12 November, a 
symposium with invited speakers is held at Museum 
Het Domein in Sittard. On Saturday 13 November, a 
seminar is organized that presents three 
sessions, two of which are based on an 
international call for papers, and a third on the 
results of a closed architecture competition at 
the Jan Van Eyck Academie in Maastricht.
