Let’s make an exhibition!

Kunsthaus Graz is searching for new members for its Youth Group Knowledge Pool. Find the CALL here.

The full programme including the abstracts from all presenters of the Museum as Toolbox symposium on 27 August 2016 in Tallinn has been released.

Have a look here!

Young people out of all partners’ youth group knowledge pools participated in our survey this spring, through short questionnaires and an online survey forum. Our aim was to find out the wording, the spoken language of our target group in context with (contemporary) art and to encourage the young participants to present their own image of a museum as a toolbox. The first results will be discussed during the interim project meeting in Berlin and presented to a wider public at the Museum as Toolbox Symposium in August 2016 in Tallinn.

The Museum as Toolbox project team met from 27 to 28 June in Berlin to discuss the organisation of the upcoming symposium in August in Tallinn as well as the exhibition opening in 2017 and the exhibition catalogue.

Lidia, Jasmin and Yisi from the youth group knowledge team in Graz have spent an awesome day in Zagreb discussing utopian museum scenarios in a workshop with Maja Kolar & Maša Poljanec.
