Join FIAF and France-Amérique for
this inaugural session of Hot Topics, a new series that addresses
socio-political issues that impact both France and the United
States.
Museums are challenged on multiple fronts. In order to
attract crowds and generate revenue, many turn to blockbuster
exhibitions that border more on entertainment than on cultural
exploration.
Stéphane Martin, President-Director of Quai
Branly Museum in Paris and Trevor Smith, Curator-in
Residence at the Center
for Curatorial Studies, Bard College will speak on
these and related topics. Pascale Richard, Editor-in-Chief
of France-Amérique will
moderate. The discussion will examine the relevance and
dynamism of museums in France and the United States and
their perception by the general public. |
