Nicholas Cullinan from the National Portrait Gallery, London (NPG) and Elvira Dyangani Ose from the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Barcelona (MACBA) join Anne McElvoy to discuss the challenges of running a major art museum and their visions for the future of their respective institutions. They discuss connecting with a wider community which has involved the NPG showing a David Beckham portrait in the hospital he was born in, and plans at MACBA to open out the ground floor and use the squares that surround the museum in Barcelona; the impact of blockbuster shows about Vermeer and Picasso and creating a space for VR and video at the NPG and whether the trend for immersive art experiences - like the David Hockney immersive show running at The Lightroom near Kings Cross station until December 2023 – is a good thing. Producer: Torquil MacLeod Frieze London runs from 11th - 15th October 2023. You can find previous Frieze/Free Thinking debates hearing from directors including Michael Govan, Sabine Haag & Hartwig Fischer; Suhanya Raffel, Richard Armstrong and Nathalie Bondil, Mikhail Borisovich Piotrovsky, Kaywin Feldman and Siak Ching Chong.

(Originaly recorded June 2019) Michael Govan is the director of LACMA and is getting his way with bulldozing most of the museum's campus to build a gazillionaire's tarpit dream as architect Peter Zumthor has tried to create an exhibition space splash… but is it?

Episode No. 521 features artists Barbara Kruger and Samantha Nye. The Art Institute of Chicago is presenting "THINKING OF YOU. I MEAN ME. I MEAN YOU.," a survey spanning Kruger's career. The exhibition includes works on vinyl, site-specific installations, animations, and multichannel video installations installed in many disparate parts of the museum. It was organized by the AIC, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museum of Modern Art, New York, to which it will travel after closing in Chicago on January 24, 2022. The exhibition was curated by James Rondeau, Robyn Farrell, Michael Govan, Rebecca Morse, and Peter Eleey. The handsome catalogue was co-published by LACMA and DelMonico Books. Indiebound and Amazon offer it for $45-60. Kruger has also fulfilled a commission from the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston titled "Body Language." The work, which is installed on the exterior of the ISGM's Renzo Piano-designed addition, features a detail from Titian's painting Diana and Actaeon, and was installed on the occasion of "Titian: Women, Myth & Power" at the museum. Kruger's work is on view through February 1, 2022. The Kruger exhibition shop mentioned on the program is here. Kruger was previously a guest on Episode No. 36. Samantha Nye's work is on view in two exhibitions at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston: "Samantha Nye: My Heart's in a Whirl," which closes this weekend, and "New Light: Encounters and Connections," which is on view through July 24, 2022. Nye's work broadens artistic constructs of beauty and sexuality by queering them and by foregrounding older people in her paintings, installations and videos.

A MacArthur Park school is working with LACMA to bring art into the historic but gentrifying neighborhood. LACMA director Michael Govan talks about the controversial new redesign of its main campus. There are also a ton of art fairs this weekend.

How welcome are selfies in modern art galleries and museums? What kind of labelling should be on display and should more objects be repatriated? Laurence des Cars from the Musée d'Orsay, Kennie Ting from Asian Civilisations Museum, Singapore and Philip Tinari from UCCA Beijing join Anne McElvoy and an audience at the Royal Institute of British Architects for this year's Frieze Free Thinking debate about the issues facing museum directors.

Épisode 271 :  À l’ère des plateformes sociales, l'Art "classique" tente de se forger une nouvelle identité pour se fondre dans le paysage. Pendant ce temps là, s'est imposé un mouvement de l'Art Popup, de l'art Instagrammable.  À l’ère des plateformes sociales, nous forgeons notre identité en fonction de là où nous nous trouvons. On doit pouvoir se sentir chez soi au musée et les éléments qui le composent doivent devenir des totems que l’on peut s’approprier et prendre en photo Il y a une dizaine de jour, Anne Hidalgo inaugurait officiellement une nouvelle oeuvre d’Art géante dans les jardins du Petit Palais. Un bouquet de tulipes multicolores de près de 12 mètres de haut réalisé par le mythique et scandaleux Jeff Koons. Le Bouquet de tulipes a un message officiel, rendre hommage aux victimes des attentats du 13 novembre 2015. Mais avec ces aires de playmobil géant multicolore, l’oeuvre spectaculaire est aussi d’ores et déjà un succès sur Instagram. Une oeuvre iconique avec en seulement 10 jours déjà son propre hashtags #bouquetoftulips — Autre sujet, autre lieu. Une chauve-souris géante en bronze est exposé depuis une dizaine de jour à l’entrée de la FIAC à Paris. C’est l’oeuvre de Johan Creten. Sur son dos la statue a un escalier qui permet à tout un chacun de monter sur la statue. Pour l’artiste il y a une évidence, l’oeuvre existe si elle est domptée par le public. Et si appréhendé l’oeuvre signifie la partager sur Instagram, tant mieux ! — Selon le magazine artsper, Instagram est en réalité devenue une plateforme de lancement importante dans la carrière des artistes et un observatoire international essentiel des tendances et nouveautés de l’art.  Alors que YouTube a pu servir de tremplin à certains chanteurs ou comédiens, Instagram s’est transformée – peut-être malgré elle – en incubateur d’artistes. — Instagram serait-il devenu une alternative aux galeries traditionnelles? Johan Creten  “Avant, un artiste était cantonné à son marchand d’art, ses assistants et les journalistes, admet-il. Grâce à Instagram, on a un contact direct avec le public.” la plateforme a ouvert la voie à toute une vague d’artistes désireux de vendre leurs propres productions par eux-mêmes. Vogue décrit même la plateforme comme un éminent acteur du marché de l’art. — Instagram, le marchand d’art du futur ? Selon le rapport annuel Hiscox Online Trade, une étude de marché sur l’utilisation des outils technologiques du monde de l’art, la plus grande évolution serait la transaction d’art sur Instagram : 48% des acheteurs d’ART disent utiliser l’outil au quotidien, dont 65% chez les moins de 35 ans. Vogue US décrit la plateforme comme « le marchand d’art le plus éminent de l’époque». Le site Artsy donne dorénavant des cours d’utilisation commerciale du réseau aux artistes novices. L’artiste Ashley Longshore et ces 255k followers, préfère vendre ses œuvres par DM (direct message, ndlr) et couper la commission que retiendrait la galerie.  «C’est à chaque artiste de devenir le business man de son travail, et les réseaux sociaux permettent ça » explique-t-elle. « Je poste une photo d’une œuvre, et je reçois des détails bancaires avant même que la peinture soit sèche » — Les artselfies boostent la popularité d’une oeuvre Les _#artselfies boostent la popularité et le potentiel bankable d’une œuvre, explique le site Artnet. La galerie Victoria Miro affiche même un hashtag dédié à côté des œuvres de son artiste Yayoi Kusama, _#instakusama. — Vers un style : l’Art Instagrammable Il y a eu le cubisme, le sur réalisme, le pointillisme…. Il y a peut-être l’Art Instagrammable. Selon Adeline Pilon expert du marché de l’art diplomée de l'Ecole du Louvre, l’application, Instagram ne convient pas à tous les artistes. "Il y a un biais avec la technologie: si votre œuvre n'est pas 'instagramable', si elle n'a pas de couleur, si elle n'est pas fluide ni simple, vous aurez du mal à exister. Un monde de l'art digital se développe. Il a échoué au début des années 2000. Il faut voir si désormais ça va fonctionner ou retomber comme un soufflet." ———— Côté musée, là aussi Instagram est incontournable ! les musées eux aussi acteurs sur les réseaux sociaux Les musées ont d’ailleurs eux aussi réussi à y fédérer de solides communautés, invitant leurs followers à participer à toutes sortes de concours photos.  En 2014 était lancé le #MuseumSelfieDay, la journée mondiale du selfie dans les musées (tous les 16 janvier). Une nouvelle génération de musées De New York à Los Angeles, en passant par Barcelone et Budapest, une nouvelle génération de musées a vu le jour. Ils surfent sur le potentiel viral des photos d’installations immersives sur le réseau social Instagram Les musées instagrammables ils ont inventé un nouveau moyen de faire adhérer le public à leurs oeuvres, à leurs concepts, un nouveau moyen de les faire partager. En même temps, il était temps, il y a longtemps qu’une partie de la population a fui les musées. Et qu’ils ont une image bien dégarnie … Michael Govan, directeur du Los Angeles County Museum Art  À l’ère des plateformes sociales, nous forgeons notre identité en fonction de là où nous nous trouvons. On doit pouvoir se sentir chez soi au musée et les éléments qui le composent doivent devenir des totems que l’on peut s’approprier et prendre en photo Le défi : susciter ce désir expérientiel chez les gens sans pour autant pervertir les œuvres présentées. » Les musées à Selfie / musées Popups [Des musées 100% photogéniques][5] Musée du selfie / Machine de rêve / la maison des oeufs / la maison de la pizza > Ils sont chers 20-40$ Et on va encore plus loin, la nouvelle tendance est aux musées POP UPS Ils pullulent depuis la côte ouest des États-Unis.  Musée de la glace, musée du selfie, musée du bonheur, musée du bonbon, ils nous font voir la vie en rose fluo et nous attirent dans une parenthèse de bonheur. Pas besoin de se coltiner tout un tas d’explications. Il suffit de se laisser porter pour être heureux. On est sur une simplification de l’art à son maximum, on vous attire en vous promettant que ça va vous plaire est surtout on chatouille l’Instagram Artist qui est en vous. Forcément si c’es tendance, vous aurez bien de quoi rapporter quelques clichés. « Le plaisir s’avale en shots, cul sec, et les clichés se partagent en masse sur les réseaux sociaux. » Ice Cream museum Des lieux prévus pour être éphémères deviennent permanents, c’est tel cas du muséum of Icecream. Tout est rose flou et là bas tu peux plonger dans une piscine de topings multicolors et toute la déco est pensée pour être shootée ! San Francisco - > ouverture prochaine à NY

The directors of three Los Angeles art museums--Ann Philbin of the Hammer, Michael Govan of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and Timothy Potts, the new director of the Getty--discussed with Los Angeles Times arts reporter Jori Finkel the state of the city's museums and their hopes for the future. It's an exciting time for the L.A. art world, but although the museums have a great deal of potential they also face obstacles in cultivating a larger donor base, bringing in diverse audiences, and satisfying their many different constituencies.

An Evening with Michael Govan

Michael Govan, CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director of LACMA,Saturday, May 18, 2013Michael Govan, CEO and Wallis Annenberg Director of LACMA, first became acquainted with Dan Flavin both personally and professionally while working on the interior installation illuminating the reopening of the Solomon R.
