Location 12 November Museum Het Domein Kapittelstraat 6, Postbus 230 6130 AE Sittard - the Netherlands http://www.hetdomein.nl 13 November Jan van Eyck Academie Academieplein 1 6211 KM Maastricht - the Netherlands http://www.janvaneyck.nl Museum in ¿Motion? intends to trace the history of the critical correlation between contemporary art and the museum, to chart the various institutional responses, and to place this within the broader context of socio-political changes. The title literally refers to one of the most important publications of the 1970s on the museum discussion of that era: Museum in ¿Motion? The modern art museum at issue / Museum in ¿Beweging? Het museum voor moderne kunst ter diskussie, published in 1979. Speakers will discuss the fundamental changes that have occurred since its publication precisely one quarter of a century ago. Are museums still confronted with the same problems? When precisely did the dream of the mobile or living museum come into being? Which forms and strategies of mobility have so far been developed? Where does the real motion stop and rhetoric come in? Is the critical relationship between art and the museum still a subject of discussion? Do the massive socio-political changes in our society confront the museum with a much bigger challenge? How are we to define the future role of the museum of contemporary art, being a pre-eminent public institution? The conference Museum in ¿Motion? comprises two meeting formats. On Friday 12 November, a symposium with invited speakers is held at Museum Het Domein in Sittard. On Saturday 13 November, a seminar is organized that presents three sessions, two of which are based on an international call for papers, and a third on the results of a closed architecture competition at the Jan Van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. ****************************************************** Programme Symposium 12 November 2004 Location Museum Het Domein Sittard http://www.hetdomein.nl/ 9:00 Start conference film screening of 'De Langste Dag' (1986) by Jef Cornelis (06:15:48) 9:45 Welcome Stijn Huijts 10:00 - 10:20 Wouter Davidts Museum in ¿Motion? 10:20 - 11:00 Alan Wallach "The Museum of Modern Art as Late Capitalist Ritual" Twenty-Five Years Later: Distinction versus Consumerism in the Display of Contemporary Art 11:00 - 11:20 discussion 11:20 - 12:00 Christian Kravagna The World in the Museum: Ethnography, Culture, and Critical Art Practice 12:00 - 12:20 discussion 12:20 - 14:00 lunch 14:00 - 14:40 John Welchman The Museum: Architecture / Sculpture (Gehry) 14:40 - 15:00 discussion 15:00 - 15:40 Camiel Van Winkel The Viewer is Never at Home 15:40 - 16:00 discussion 16:00 - 16:40 Johanne Lamoureux Para-Sites 16:40 - 17:00 discussion ****************************************************** Programme Seminar 13 November 2004 Location Jan van Eyck Academie Maastricht http://www.janvaneyck.nl/ 9:45 welcome SESSION 1 The Museum: Dreams of a Mobile Architecture Chair Jeroen Boomgaard 10:00 - 10:20 Andrea Philips Walking into Trouble.
