Hi all I'm conducting a survey of museums specialising in multi media and light based arts.
There's a new museum in Detroit which states:- "the kunsthalle Detroit museum is dedicated to being the foremost museum of multi-media and ligt based arts in the world" and "is the first US museum of multi-media and light-based arts and the second of its kind in the world" This is a newly formed museum with its inaugural exhibition. http://www.kunsthalle-detroit.org/#!about-us To give itself credibility the website lists other museums that also call themselves 'kunsthalles'. So what? Its an American museum using a German word for Museum and that's supposed to affiliate it with the world's great Kunsthalles? Now I'm heartily sick of hearing grandiose claims that every arts organisation or gallery or exhibition in the USA is the best/first in the world, when they clearly are not. So, who is the first "of its kind" (not identified) and how many museums can you identify that also specialise in multi media and light based art? I can think of several, can you help me compile a list? thanx blakkbyrd http://blakkbyrd.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ NetBehaviour mailing list [email protected] http://www.netbehaviour.org/mailman/listinfo/netbehaviour
