New Institutionalism 
“Neo-Capitalism and the declining Western Welfare State are causing major
changes in the role of the art institution. A director of a museum is supposed
to act as a populist politician as well as a manager. For most sponsors and
politicians the visitors count is the only measurement for the success of an
institution. Therefore art institutions are becoming a part of the event and
entertainment industry. In this scenario some smaller or mid sized and more
flexible institutions tried to analyze this situation and develop alternative
strategies.
In my paper I will present the approach of a few institutions (such as the
Rooseum in Malmo with Charles Esche as director, the Kunstverein in Munich with
Maria Lind, The EA-Generali Foundation in Vienna), as well as two research based
exhibition projects I curated, which are dealing with a variety of international
institutional collaborations, and have a (self-)reflective perspective on
institutional processes as their very topic: the relation of artists and
institutions, the societal role of institutions and the role of institutions for
artistic productions.”
