Contemporary Art Museums in Central Europe. Between International Discourse and National (Re)building Strategies

etudes-17-cefresContemporary Art Museums in Central Europe. Between International Discourse and National (Re)building Strategies, Miklós Syékely, Etudes du CEFRES, 2014, 37 p.

The paper investigates the collection-building strategies in the contemporary art museums of Central Europe. As its methodology, the study takes into consideration the collection-building principles and the way they are related to other activities of the institutions. It focuses on the role of the collection as an  ensemble of musealized objects. The paper also intends to raise questions on how such institutions contribute, through their collections, to the participation of the given country in international discourse on contemporaneity. As a consequence of this collection-based observation conception, contemporary art centers and museums without collections are excluded from the observations. The observation focuses on the factors of national and international narratives intersecting each other in the process of modern and contemporary art museum based national cultural policies.
