  • Museums in the transition from the 20th to the 21st century
  • The museum and the neoliberal concept of culture
  • The paradigmatic transformations of art institutions in the context of the current social, economic and political order
  • Institutional critique as investigation of the framework and functioning of art institutions
  • The museum as a place of negotiation and conflict
  • The potential of institutions and the new institutional sphere: new Institutionalism, radical museology, critical museology
  • Critique and experimentation in art institutions
  • Institutional and non-institutional practices within the museum
  • Challenges for museums and art institutions inside new art practices
  • The future identity of art institutions
