GLOBAL ART TALK 040 “Art Museum Ecosystems – From the series Contemporary Art Museums in China” by Kodama Kanazawa (curator)
When visiting art museums in foreign countries, one may be puzzled by the difference in appearance from what one is used to.
In “Contemporary Art Museums in China Today,” Kodama Kanazawa profiled Shanghai’s art museums in a series of nine articles online that began in March 2022 in Bijutsutcho. In contrast to Japan, where most art museums are public institutions operated by the national or local government, most art
museums in China are private ones operated by individuals or companies. The differences in invested funds can lead to differences in the size and scope of curatorial staff and in the theoretical approach to exhibitions. While it is true that art and artwork are universal, this series r1veals how art and art museums also have their own individual local ecosystems.
In this GLOBAL ART TALK session, Kanazawa will examine and introduce the landscape of art museums in Shanghai while raising attention to art and their museum ecosystems.
