A New Landscape for Museums
How can museums assert their relevance in a rapidly transforming world? Changing patterns of cultural participation, new technologies, a global pandemic, a reckoning over systemic injustice and, more recently, a war in Europe are creating a moment of accelerated change in art museums. Drawing on insights from his recent book, The Future of the Museum: 28 Dialogues and the forthcoming Imagining the Future Museum: 21 Dialogues with Architects (to be published this year by Hatje Cantz), the New York based museum strategist András Szántó, PhD, paints a picture of the situation.

About the speaker

An author and editor, his writings have appeared in the New York Times, Artforum, the Art Newspaper, and many other publications. He has overseen the National Arts Journalism Program at Columbia University and the Global Museum Leaders Colloquium at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Szántó, who lives in Brooklyn, has been conducting conversations with art-world leaders since the early 1990s, including as a frequent moderator of the Art Basel Conversations series.
