The last half-decade has been tumultuous for the LA MoCA (Museum of Contemporary Art)

1. The last half-decade has been tumultuous for the LA MoCA (Museum of Contemporary Art). Give a brief overview of MoCA’s history – when was it founded, what was it known for? Then describe the key developments that have taken place since the fall of 2008. How has the museum been affected by these developments?

2. According to Karsten Schubert, what are the typical characteristics of “the new museum?” What gets prioritized, and what gets sacrificed in this emerging model? What are the potential problems that arise when museums behave too much like corporations? How does LACMA (The Los Angeles County Museum of Art) reflect the strategies of “the new museum?” Give specific examples and connect them to Schubert’s text.

3. In Bogumil Jewsiewicki’s article “Museums for the People?” how does the context of Lubumbashi show the need to re-think the purpose of the museum? How does Jewsiewicki (in the project Memoires de Lubumbashi) attempt to adapt the Lubumbashi Museum in a way that responds to the specific needs of the people living there?
