Art & Its Institutions

The Museum is an institution to preserve and protect the history of art as well as provoke a scene of the art in "the contemporary", as Heartney describes "a center for cultural provocation". I find it as a protector, a safe place where expensive things are kept. I want to know how museums find a balance between displaying the old and new? How do they rotate?

How will the growth of galleries and biennials effect the traditional museum?

I think that artists today are trying to break the conventions of "normal museum routine" by pushing performance art as well as abandoning the museum itself and creating work that can not be captured and displayed within its walls.

How has globalism changed the economic standards of a museum? of the Western, Eurocentric institutions?

How much of an established institution is part of a "great artist's" life?

Do we need to be established by institutions to be recognized?
