INTA is calling for a 3-day international conference in Vitry-sur-Seine, with the active participation of policymakers, economic and cultural institutions, development agencies with a view to exchange ideas and experiences on these issues. The conference date: 16-17 November 2005
The County council of Val-de-Marne (Conseil general du Departement) will open its new museum of Modern Art on the 15th of Novmber 2005. The existing collection of the museum covers contemporary art in France, from the 50's to present; and contains over 1,000 pieces (Soto, Monory, Messager, Arman, Jouve). It's the fruit of a public acquisition from the department and it's
quality brought it the label 'Musée deFrance'. The museum has a built surface of 13.000 m²; with over 1350 m² for temporary exhibitions and 2600 m² forthe display of its permanent collection. These exhibition rooms allow for exchanges of collections and will foster partnership projects among different cultural institutions. This will be the first museum of its kind to open in the suburbs of Paris in dozens of years. On this occasion, the council has engaged a reflection on how a museum can be more than a public institution in the service of society, how such a major public cultural facility can contribute to local and regional development?
The conference will focus on four main themes:
- Territorial Development and Cultural projects
- Factor for social cohesion and territorial
- Economic promotion and cultural partnerships: Can a museum be in instrument to the service of urban and regional promotion?
- Regional cultural projects for a polycentric territory
