· www.galeriadv.com Spagna, La galeríaDV nació en diciembre de 1994, promovida por El Diario Vasco, con el objetivo de promocionar el arte contemporáneo en San Sebastián y de dar a conocer nuevos artistas.

Luogo di consultazione di cataloghi, di video, di accesso a reti informatizzate per l’arte contemporanea. Le mostre e gli eventi troveranno varie dislocazioni: in un luogo storico, all’aperto, in una fabbrica abbandonata, in una sede universitaria, ecc. Un tale concetto di spazio a 360 gradi acquista tre profili differenti e allo stesso tempo concomitanti; galleria quindi come città, come rivista e come sito internet. E' questo il progetto che l'attuale staff della Galleria definisce Work art project. I contenuti La Galleria si muove per cercare di porre all’attenzione del pubblico non solo le tendenze più recenti dell’arte, ma anche i temi più attuali della nostra società: il rapporto con l’ambiente, la perdita dell’identità locale nell’epoca della globalizzazione, la modificazione del sistema percettivo dell’uomo dovuta alle nuove tecnologie, ecc. Temi che presentati in forme promozionali accattivanti e innovative, miscelando gli ambiti di ricerca, si spera destino interesse perché riguardano ciascuno di noi, non soltanto una piccola élite di addetti ai lavori. Si spera anche che servano ad aprire dei dibattiti di più larga portata. · www.thehappylion.com USA The Happy Lion - Galleria d’arte contemporanea 963 Chung King Road Los Angeles, CA, 90012 P. 001-213-625-1360 F. 001-213-625-1350 Gallery hours are Wed.—Sat. 12 to 6 pm.

It is made of glass and steel and a cast concrete stone mass which endows the interior of the building with texture and spatial composition. From the outside, the building looks like a lamp. It absorbs the changing light of the sky, the haze of the lake, it reflects light and colour and gives an intimation of its inner life according to the angle of vision, the daylight and the weather.<< Peter Zumthor, Architect The Kunsthaus Bregenz began to collect contemporary Austrian art in 1991. The collection begins in the 80s with works by that younger generation of artists which broke away from the determining traditions of postwar Austrian art in favour of a more international orientation (for example Bohatsch, Brandl, Kogler, Kopf, F. Pichler, Rockenschaub, Scheibl, Schmalix, Ströhle, Türtscher, West, Wurm, Zobernig, among others). Acquisitions of groups of works by the most important artists set focal points. The collection of contemporary Austrian art concentrates on painting, sculpture, object- and conceptual art. Video art, mixed media and photography are also taken into consideration. The goal of the collection is the continuous documentation of contemporary Austrian art. Until the collection achieves museum scale, quality, and unity (in about ten years), it will be regularly exhibited in parts, in its own various aspects as well as in relation to the exhibition program. · www.ghw.ch Switzerland/England Hauser & Wirth Zürich Limmatstrasse 270 CH-8005 Zürich T: +41 (0)44 446 80 50 F: +41 (0)44 446 80 55 Hauser & Wirth Zürich was founded in 1992 by its principals Ursula Hauser, Manuela Wirth, and Iwan Wirth.

Thur: 10 to 8 pm. Since the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein is a national museum, the international orientation of its collection corresponds to the character of national galleries as have become common since the end of the Second World War. The collection is still young, yet it presents a clear profile. Altogether, the collection of the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein presents a highly individual profile, not untypical for museums of its size. It is interested in making the museum attractive and recognizable for an international public by concentrating on special aspects and focal points within the collection. This does not mean that the museum´s public educational duties towards the regional population cannot be carried out as fully as possible. · www.macba.es Spagna MACBA - Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona Placa dels Angels, 1 08001 Barcelona T: +34 93 412 08 10 F: +34 93 412 46 02 Opening hours: Winter from 25/9 – 24/6 Weekdays 11.00 – 19.30 Sat. & holidays 10.00 – 15.00 Closed on tuesdays (except holidays) and 25/12 – 1/1 Summer from 25/6-24/9 Weekdays 11.00 – 20.00 Sat. 10.00 – 20.00 Sun & holidays 10.00 – 15.00 Closed on tuesdays (except holidays) The creation of the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona, officially inaugurated in 1995, was one of a series of actions carried out in Barcelona during the eighties and the first half of the nineties, the purpose of which was the urban restructuring of the city and its orientation toward an outward-looking economy centred fundamentally on the tertiary sector and in particular on tourism. The changes experienced by Barcelona during these years and are part of the transformations our society has undergone in a wake of the globalization of capital, production and the market. More than in any other period, financial flows have assumed a universal dimension, determining our perception of the world and how we organize ourselves within it. We are not, of course, dealing with a new phenomenon here: the globalization of the late 20th century is, after all, a direct continuation of the colonialisms of the 19th century. However, the territories being captured now are no longer those far-off, little-known places so superbly described in the novels of Conrad or Kipling, but the space of our own privacy, our ambits of freedom and creation. The modes of singular subjectivization are promoted, but only in order to reproduce these, severing them from their connection with life and converting them into commodities, into a kind of pret-à-porter identity, as Suely Rolnik has observed elsewhere. In this context, the museum runs the risk of being confused with the theme park, and the history it may be intended to narrate is located in a continuous present, disguised as false memory, in which relationships between individuals are based solely on consumption, and the political subject is supplanted by the consumer. If the museum is to have any real significance in these circumstances, it is necessary for us to redefine our notion of memory: this needs to be, more than a strict recording of the past, an opening toward the future, making visible what society hides and excludes. What defines the individual memory is its richness, its capacity for mobilization, for permitting sudden associations and facilitating almost unforeseen evocations. · www.contemporarystl.org USA CONTEMPORARYARTMUSEUMSTLOUIS 3750 Washington Boulevard St. Louis, Missouri 63108 T: 314.535.4660 F: 314.535.1226 Hours: Tuesday - Saturday 10am-5pm Thursday 10am-7pm; Sunday 11am-4pm Founded in 1980 by a small group of dedicated volunteers, the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis has grown to become one of the country's most important contemporary art museums.

Awash with light, our high-vaulted gallery spaces are among the most inspiring venues in London and are available to hire individually or as a whole.

Siamo aperti anche il giorno di Ferragosto e di Pasqua. A vent’anni dalla riapertura come sede per mostre temporanee, il PAC apre nel 1999 il suo sito internet inserendosi nel flusso di informazioni sull’arte contemporanea che coinvolge tutte le maggiori istituzioni museali impegnate in questo campo. Circa 200 mostre, presentate dal 1979 ad oggi, costituiscono la storia di questo spazio espositivo che si è proposto come luogo di ricerca, di documentazione, aperto a tutte le tendenze dell’arte del XX secolo e attualmente proiettato verso il secolo nuovo. Il PAC è parte degli istituti che costituiscono assieme il vasto organismo delle Civiche Raccolte d’Arte di Milano, denominazione che comprende: il Museo d’Arte Antica e la Pinacoteca del Castello Sforzesco, il Gabinetto dei Disegni, la Galleria d’Arte Moderna, il Museo d’Arte Contemporanea a Palazzo Reale, recentemente chiuso per restauri, e, legato a quest’ultimo, il PAC. La consistenza delle collezioni è di circa 32.000 opere e di queste, circa 3.000 costituiscono il patrimonio d’arte del XX secolo che comprende il più ricco nucleo museale al mondo di opere futuriste. In attesa del ripristino di una sede museale definitiva, un’ampia selezione delle opere del Museo d’Arte Contemporanea è attualmente in mostra presso la Permanente, con le opere da inizio secolo al 1960 mentre il nucleo della collezione Jucker è esposto presso la Galleria d’Arte Moderna in Villa Reale. Il difficile cammino verso una sede per le collezioni d’arte contemporanea a Milano era iniziato nel 1984 con l’apertura provvisoria del museo a Palazzo Reale. Esso non era ancora aperto, dunque, quando aprì il Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea, che ne fu in qualche modo un’anticipazione. Quando nel 1979, dopo un lungo periodo di chiusura per restauri, gli splendidi spazi espositivi progettati da Ignazio Gardella si sono riaperti al pubblico, mancavano in Italia istituzioni impegnate in modo continuativo nel campo dell’arte contemporanea. Il PAC si propose a Milano come struttura agile, simile alle Kunsthalle europee, impegnata anche in vista dell’apertura di un museo per l’arte contemporanea del quale intendeva essere testimone e luogo di ricerca. Per anni tramite la sua attività le collezioni civiche, già ricche di opere del XX secolo sono cresciute con l’acquisizione di opere recenti, sanando molte lacune del proprio patrimonio e costruendo il percorso del futuro museo. Oggi, mentre la sede definitiva per il museo è nei progetti della città, il PAC continua nella sua attività espositiva cercando di mantenere aperto il discorso e desta l’attenzione sull’arte contemporanea a Milano e in Italia. Il forte incremento dei dati di afflusso dell’ultimo anno di attività segnala che l’interesse per l’arte contemporanea è in crescita, che il peso della tradizione non impedisce ad un pubblico, anche eterogeneo e non solo di addetti ai lavori, di accostarsi al terreno più difficile e meno collaudato dell’arte recente. L'apertura di questo sito intende favorire l'accesso all'informazione e promuovere lo scambio con il pubblico del PAC. · www.moma.org.uk England Modern Art Oxford 30 Pembroke Street Oxford OX1 1BP T: +44 1865 722733 F: +44 1865 722573 Opening hours: Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 5pm, Sunday 12pm to 5pm, closed Mondays Modern Art Oxford, the new name for the Museum of Modern Art Oxford, opened on 10 November 2002 with a refurbished building, a dynamic exhibitions and events programme and FREE admission.

The operative strategy of Kiasma is based on the concept of a centre for visual culture. The museum functions as a public meeting place, with a view to creating lively, continuous contact between contemporary art and art audiences, and making contemporary artworks an everyday part of people's lives. One special dimension of the Museum of Contemporary Art operations is its living contact with the act of creating art ? with artists. As part of this goal, the museum recognises the diversity and plurality of the field of contemporary art. It seeks to support this in all areas, including methods and techniques, as well as strategies and philosophies. Experimentation, process, and happening are essential elements of the work of today's artists; as is artists working within the museum as a part of the whole. Kiasma is exceptionally well-equipped to serve this end. Seeking to develop the concept of a museum, the keynotes of Kiasma's activities are diversity and plurality in art. It highlights not only the physical space of the museum, but also the museum as a conceptual space ? a framework for transmitting, producing, and interpreting art. Implementation of the Strategy Kiasma has actively engaged in the development of new forms of producing art. Artists are provided opportunities for working in the museum, where they have a broad range of technological equipment at their disposal. The museum has also taken an active role in the production of ideas for projects, as well as their development and realisation. The aim of Kiasma is to promote diversity, cross-disciplinarity in art, and a broad understanding of visual culture. It brings international art into a Finnish context, and also presents Finnish art in international contexts. The museum purchases works in a geographically widening spiral, the main emphasis being on art from Finland and nearby areas. Preservation, research, conservation, and maintenance form an integral aspect of the broadening of the museum's collections. Cultural heritage is also preserved by maintaining an archive of images and videos, as well as a research library, and by providing expert services. Kiasma's concept of a cultural centre is also broad enough to accommodate performances, in addition to traditional museum activities. The public is offered changing shows, collection exhibitions, performances in the Kiasma Theatre, as well as seminars and lectures. Moreover, Kiasma participates in projects involving art in the cityscape, and presents visual culture on the Kiasma Stage. The ground floor with its Caf>=, Kiasma Store, Newspaper Corner, children's activity room, seminar room, and Rear Window is a natural meeting place and it also lowers the threshold for visiting the exhibitions. Long opening hours and the policy of one admission price also support this goal. Visitors to Kiasma are provided with information through a wide variety of media. The museum makes a special effort to develop network communication. Educational services offer information and clues for interpretation, discussions about and around art, as well as various activities. Kiasma also engages in publishing activities, producing, for example, the Kiasma Magazine, exhibition catalogues, the 'Question Mark' series, special publications and brochures.
