Abgesagte Dresdner Ausstellung: Kuratorin kritisiert Museum – »haben mich wie ein ungezogenes Kind behandelt«

In den Dresdner Kunstsammlungen wurde eine Kolonialismus-Ausstellung vor der Eröffnung abgesagt – wegen angeblicher Meinungsverschiedenheiten mit der Kuratorin Zoé Samudzi. Diese äußert sich nun zu ihren Rückzugsgründen.

"…#museums and other #CulturalInstitutions, including some very, very big ones, to my eye they’re reluctant to use their #influence.

The #NewYorkPublicLibrary probably could be doing a lot more to support digital rights around #eBooks, for example. Or they could be releasing a lot of the books as eBooks and saying, we own the book, we can release it as an eBook. They don’t want to do that because they don’t want to antagonize the #publishers right now."

Luba Elliott writes briefly: The integration of AI in cultural institutions is transforming how we engage with art and heritage. Artists like Anna Ridler, with Mosaic Virus, showcase innovative approaches, while Ben Snell's Dio explores the connection between AI design and physical sculpture. NonFacial Portraits by Shinseungback Kimyonghun challenges facial recognition, and The Design Generator generates new design objects from museum collections. #AI #Art #CulturalInstitutions
