Since the move from Tøyen to Bjørvika, MUNCH has wanted to challenge what a museum can be. Through this series we invite key practitioners in the field, who are rethinking the role of the museum, to bring their unique perspectives to Oslo. Our fourth guest Laura Raicovich will discuss, in conversation with Tone Hansen, how museums negotiate their own expertise and how art institutions can operate as a forum of knowledges, rather than a broadcaster.
We discuss topics like…
?
How can we contribute meaningfully to the artistic ecosystem?
?
How can large-scale institutions operate sustainably with transparency and kindness?
?
How can we include marginalized groups and develop new voices?
?
How can we nurture experimentation whilst retaining long-term research perspectives?
