How does one build a collection today, that is both in tune with the times and relevant for the future? What are good working models for making the collection an active part of the organization?
In March of 2014 Grafikens Hus in Mariefred burned down to the ground. This extreme situation ignited many questions, among them how does one build a new collection today? The talk is one of four in which international guests are invited to reflect on these issues. The talks are organized by Grafikens Hus in collaboration with Riksutställningar (the Swedish Exhibition Agency), Magasin III, Nationalmuseum, Marabouparken konsthall, and Eskilstuna konstmuseum.
Participants: Elvira Dyangani Ose, Goldsmiths University of London, and Gothenburg International Biennial for Contemporary Art, Annie Fletcher, Curator Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven and Tutor De Appel, Amsterdam, Anders Jansson, Director and Curator Museum Anna Nordlander, Skellefteå, and David Neuman, Museum Director Magasin III, Stockholm
