Global Art and The Museum

This too might be of interest, a little something I came across on the ZKM site.

"....the first initiative to document a new museum geography which mirrors the globalization of the visual arts. What used to be called contemporary art, reappears in an expanded production as “Global Art”. Art museums, as against art fairs, biennials, and exhibitions, operate in a local frame, whether national or urban. Thus, they face very different audiences with an equally different notion of art and modernity. The website, with its link Global Window will serve as a platform and provide news of the changing museum scene."
