ArtMuseums: Sites of Communication 2 Symposium. AGNSW18 + 19th March
2005
At a time when the boundaries between the museum and the real world appear
to be lessening, the Art Gallery of New South Wales is hosting an international
symposium that will investigate the role of the art museum today. Given
the shift from an industrial/modernist age to a postmodern society, museum
professionals, artists and patrons are asking the question, 'How do we
make museums matter?'
This two-day symposium, which brings together experts, researchers and
panel facilitators, will provide you with an up-to-date picture of your
place in the evolving role of art museums.
For more information go to the Art
Gallery of NSW Sites website or phone (02) 9225 1740 (international
+61 2 9225 1740).
