The Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rijeka organizes the international symposium (New) Media Art in Museums that will be held 15 – 17 October 2008 at the City Hall in Rijeka.

The aim of the international symposium (New)Media Art in Museums is to consider status of (new)media art in museum collections, conditions of keeping, protection, modes of exhibiting and all the changes that (new) media art introduces into the everyday practice of contemporary museums.

Special attention will be paid to the specifics regarding production and rights that evolve from interrelations between museum – author – agency – certified producer. By employing the main subject: What are new media? – the symposium will thematically process temporal definition, production, keeping and presenting of (new)media art, as well as artistic features and influences that new media and digital technologies exert on contemporary museum presentation practice.
Besides five invited international experts applications from  museum professionals, artists and other interested experts from Croatia and abroad are expected, and only original, unpublished papers, previously not presented in public will be accepted.

Deadline for the submission of abstracts is 29th of September, 2008.
