"Recent changes in society, globalization, and the increasing significance of the media are a mix that presents the museum of the 21st C with new challenges. The museum’s role as a public space demands redefinition. In this context, more and more importance is being attached to communication and mediation. The impact of these developments on the museum of contemporary art is the subject of a new series of MMK talks: MUSEUM PUBLIC."
THE GLOBAL MUSEUM: (Wed, 26. Oktober, 7 pm, MainTor) The major museums are expanding and opening branches all over the world.
- What are the consequences of such franchising and the exportation of museological competence to new “markets”?
- Will art become more international and more diverse, or will it assimilate globally?
- How important is it to respond to these developments by strengthening national and regional networks?

FURTHER ISSUES FOR 2011:Tue, 29. November The Museum as Publisher ... Increasingly, artists and museums are taking over the role of publisher and mediator of their own production. Alongside classical forms of distribution the Internet and social media are becoming ever more significant, thus defining new publics.
Tue, 13. December, Public / Private ... Owing to changes in economic and societal structures, the relationship between private commitment and the public education mandate has also undergone transformation. What role does art patronage play today? Do private collectors and the more frequently established collectors' museums have any influence in the mediation of art and the development of ”trends” How is the relationship of private collectors, the ever more frequently established collectors’ museums and public institutions?
Tue, 17. January, The Museum as Producer of Social Reality ... The museum as place for the preservation and presentation of art is developing into an institution which not only mirrors society but also produces societal realities to an ever increasing degree itself, and thus inscribes itself into the social context of its respective urban environment. Its production can take place anytime and anyplace, is no longer tied to a building or specific opening hours, and seeks its public and themes outside institutional boundaries.
Tue, 16. February, The Artist Museum ... Since the advent of modernism, artists have addressed themselves to the question of what constitutes a museum. What role does the museum play in the definition of art, how does it change their significance, what makes up a collection? Artists who investigate such matters and develop them further with their work, talk about the relevance of the museum for contemporary art.
All MMK Talks will be held in English ... A Cooperation of Hochschule für Darstellende Künste Städelschule and MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt am Main. The series of lectures is supported by: Deutcher Bank Stiftung
