The media landscape is changing. The daily papers are facing competition from new media and free newspapers that put fast news before analysis and reflection. The art field is also changing, on the global as well as local level. Every month another biennial opens somewhere in the world: Taipei, Sharjah, Porto Alegre. At the same time, new arenas for art are emerging in cities such as Göteborg, Malmö and Stockholm. How do the daily papers deal with this explosive development? What is the position of visual arts, art criticism and cultural debate in today’s arts sections? Meet the Arts Editors in Chief of four of Sweden’s largest daily papers.

Håkan Jaensson, Arts Editor in Chief, Aftonbladet
Daniel Sandström, Arts Editor in Chief, Sydsvenska Dagbladet

The Call of the Site – Yearning for Art

Lecture by Peter Noever:
The Call of the Site – Yearning for Art

Date: 7 March
Venue: Nationalmuseum, Stockholm
Time: 6pm

Peter Noever is director of MAK (Austrian Museum of Applied Arts/Comtemporary Art) in Vienna

Craft in Dialogue/IASPIS has invited Peter Noever to Stockholm. As the dynamic – and controversial – director of MAK in Vienna for twenty years, Peter Noever has given the concept of a museum new meaning. At MAK one finds architecture, applied arts, design and art under the same roof. The museum gained a worldwide reputation when, at the beginning of the 1990s, Peter Noever let contemporary artists arrange the permanent displays in conjunction with refurbishing the museum. The principle was one artist, one room and one period. The result was “an unparalleled interplay of historicism and contemporary intervention”.

The museum’s view of its own role today is to be a laboratory for artistic creation and a research centre for social consciousness. MAK is not limited to its own premises for its activities but is also concerned with works for public places, exhibitions at home and abroad, research, etc.

Peter Noever is naturally a highly desirable guest as regards discussion of a design museum in Stockholm.

After the lecture Peter Noever will join a discussion with Elizabeth Hatz, architect and professor at Stockholm’s Royal Institute of Technology (KTH).

The lecture has been jointly organized by Craft in Dialogue/IASPIS, Swedish Art Critics Association and the Nationalmuseum, Stockholm.

Admission free.
