OPEN MUSEUM
Workshop by Artur Żmijewski at the National Art Museum of Ukraine
September 10-17, 2013
Open call
Artists, activists and academics (particularly with background in
sociology, cultural studies, art history, philosophy, and cultural
management) are invited to apply for participation in the workshop by
Artur Żmijewski that will take place in the National Art Museum of
Ukraine.
The workshop will be held in the format of discussions, talks and
practical classes. Participants will develop a collective research
project based on various aspects of the museum's work – from its
collection to the work of the museum's staff. Artistic and academic
research strategies are equally encouraged within the workshop's
framework. The participants will be granted access to the museum's
collection, as well as other selected aspects of the museum's work as
an institution.
The workshop will evolve around the idea of an 'open museum', focusing
on the following issues: How does the museum's mission transform in
today's world? How should the museum change in order to represent
contemporary society? How can external factors and agents contribute
to the museum's development?
Applicants should submit their CV and letter of motivation describing
the fields of their interest to [email protected]
The workshop will be held in English. The participants are expected to
take part in the workshop on a daily basis during the working hours of
