- Museums and Art Institutions in flux
Museums in Asia and the non-West face in many aspects challenges
that are quite distinct from those experienced by their western
counterparts. Some have adopted traditional museology as their
guideline, but the strategy, in reality, is not necessarily
conducive to cumulating know-how they seek in exhibition and
collection. New contexts emerging in contemporary art also
call for ways of dealing with them with flexibility. More
recently established museums, thus, are aiming to develop
new systems of operation and management.
The situation clearly has to do with changes taking place
in the western art world. Museums, traditionally defined as
'white cubes', are now looking in various directions for self-transformation,
especially in response to the increasingly crucial roles played
by biennials and alternative spaces of contemporary art.
