Glenn Lowry: Museums of Modern Art—Framing the Future
@ The Art Institute of Chicago
111 S Michigan Ave, Chicago, IL 60603
Opening Thursday, December 10th, from 6PM - 7PM
Born of the early twentieth century, and devoted to an idea of modernity now often criticized and suspect, how can museums of modern art adapt to the changing circumstances of a globalized world? How should these museums engage and present the work of a rapidly receding past and an uncertain future? What are the key issues and criteria they should address? Glenn Lowry, director of the Museum of Modern Art, New York, will address these questions by examining both the origins of museums of modern art and their potential for the future.
