	What do museums of contemporary art stand for today? The last two decades has seen an unimaginable diversification of the museum as a place for exhibiting art and telling history, producing innovative education models, promoting international collaborations, forming alternative archives, and facilitating new productions. This conference aims to tackle key questions around the museum as an institutional entity and contemporary art as an art historical category. Speakers will provide an overview of developments across the Americas, Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. Particular attention will be paid to the construction of historical narratives (or their abandonment) through collection displays, the role of research in relation to contemporary art, the alternative models that are already having an impact, and their relationship to more traditional museum infrastructures. Presented by the Ph.D. Program in Art History at the CUNY Graduate Center, Independent Curators International, and the New Museum. Click here for more information and to purchase tickets.
