OUR MUSEUM
What has the museum space offered me?
This is the simple question that I have been pondering. When I was a child I went to the art museum sometimes. All I remember is the exhibition spaces, the large doors and the big rooms. I don't remember the art works. Perhaps, the making of "OUR MUSEUM" was influenced by these early impressions.
"OUR MUSEUM" is a study of museums today with a look back on the history of the Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art and the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Also included is a presentation on the unique activities at the Gallerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume, the Palais de Tokyo, and the Centre Georges Pompidou. There are several interviews with various directors, curators and others working at these institutions as well as exhibition space footage. One of the key questions explored in the interviews is the future direction of art museums.
