András Szántó Ordre des livres (chronologique)

Following on the widely-read The Future of the Museum: 28 Dialogues, which explored how museums are changing through conversations with today's generation of museum directors, New York-based author and cultural strategy advisor András Szántó's new compilation turns its attention to architects. The conclusion of The Future of the Museum was that the "software" of art museums has evolved. Museum leaders are "working to make institutions more open, inclusive, experiential, culturally polyphonic, technologically savvy, attuned to the needs of their communities, and engaged in the defining issues of our time." It follows that the "hardware" of the art museum must also change. Conversations with a carefully selected group of architects survey current thinking in the field, engaging not only architects who have built some of the world's most iconic institutions, but also members of an emerging global generation that is destined to leave its mark on the museum of the future.

In collaboration with the sculptor Leelee Chan, a world- and time-spanning project has been selected for the 8th BMW Art Journey-an initiative of BMW and Art Basel. Chan explores old and new materials in order enter them into a dialogue with the present day. On her travels across Italy in 2020, she learned about traditional techniques used to extract and work marble, copper, iron, and bronze. In Switzerland and Germany, including at BMW's Munich headquarters, she met engineers and scientists in order to learn about nanotechnologies and postindustrial materials. This richly illustrated volume brings together essays, documentary photographs, and works inspired by the trip to examine the core questions of Chan's project: What does it mean to be a sculptor in the current time? What can we learn from the materials of yesterday? And how can tomorrow's materials ensure a more sustainable future?00LEELEE CHAN?s (*1984) whimsical and intimate sculptures are composed of everyday objects and reflect her experiences in Hong Kong. She earned an MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design and a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her work is exhibited worldwide.

These conversations reveal the historical limitations and untapped potential of art museums during a time of significant change. The twenty-eight dialogues delve into topics crucial to the future of art institutions, showcasing the efforts of a new generation of leaders to transform museums into more open, inclusive, and technologically advanced spaces. They emphasize the importance of being attuned to community needs and addressing pressing societal issues. This collection provides insights into how museums globally are reappraising and reinventing themselves in response to contemporary challenges. The conversation partners include notable figures from various institutions, such as Marion Ackermann (Dresden), Cecilia Alemani (New York), Anton Belov (Moscow), and many others from cities like Marrakesh, San Francisco, and Tokyo. András Szántó, who has a PhD and extensive experience advising cultural institutions, has contributed to prominent publications and led significant programs in the arts.
