As the French dancer and choreographer Boris Charmatz prepares to transform Tate Modern into Musée de la danse in May, this public event is an opportunity to celebrate and critically investigate the phenomenon of artists creating their own museums.
About
Join us for a panel discussion with practitioners, theorists and experts from different fields to explore the diverse motivations behind artists setting up their own real and fictitious museums across the globe. What are the possibilities and challenges that museums as artworks pose and what is their role in relation to established institutions of art and the wider social, cultural and political realms in which these operate?
Speakers include dancer and choreographer Boris Charmatz and artists Simon Fujiwara and Dayanita Singh.
