Summary: Art has rarely respected international borders, but globalization's pace and pervasiveness is changing the business of art museums in new ways. What challenges and opportunities are museums experiencing? How are these trends affecting artists and patrons? Is the art business a barometer of globalization? Or is art part of the process of globalization? Kaywin Feldman, Director of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and Olga Viso, Director of the Walker Art Center, will explore these questions and others as they contemplate the world of art in this new age of interconnectedness. Moderated by Tad Simons, the arts and entertainment editor for Mpls.St.Paul Magazine. Presented by the Library Foundation of Hennepin County on July 28, 2009.
