SPACE IN FLUX
10th ANNIVERSARY
DEUTSCHE BANK & SOLOMON R. GUGGENHEIM FOUNDATION
November 3 – 9, 2007
ART SPACES FOR TOMORROW
November 3, 4 p.m.
Nowadays, art is leaving its traditional protective housing and has begun permeating all spheres of social life. It serves increasingly less as the cultural heritage of a bourgeois elite and is instead conquering more and more social classes as a lifestyle element. There is no doubt that art has democratized itself, yet at the same time it is more out of reach than ever for many due to the astronomical prices. Contemporary art, in particular, offers glamour one can partake in, while in the art business the audience follows the bizarre spectacle of hardly comprehensible, record-breaking prices. Exhibitions have become events targeting a mass audience with an enormous marketing effort. But what role does the museum play today? What kind of spaces does art require? How can public and private interests be combined in a sensible way?
Deutsche Guggenheim, as a joint venture of Deutsche Bank and the Guggenheim Foundation, is looking forward to contributing its own experiences to the international debate on art spaces with this
panel discussion.
Panel: Walter Grasskamp (Art Critic), Max Hollein (Schirn Kunsthalle & Städelsches Kunstinstitut), Thomas Krens (Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation), Ernst W. Veen (Hermitage Amsterdam)
