Visibility

The digital age is a time of sharing and interconnection. How do we define an art institution’s visibility? Does it mean that more collections and exhibitions enter the public view, or that online and offline art institutions receive more traffic and attention?

How do we deconstruct and reconstruct art institutions’ collection and research models within the dual contexts of tradition and the future?

How do art institutions operate in an era of technology?

How does an art institution make use of the complementary relationship between collecting and research to expand its influence on the public or introduce its collection to the public?
