"A museum is a place for experimentation with new connections"
Harald Seemann

The processes that have taken place in art museums in the second half of the 20th and early 21th centuries have led to an incredible expansion in the audience interest in art, a polyphonic, participatory, and multiple readings of the art message. Under these conditions, what happens to the conventional museum label? Why are some exhibitions not signed with the names of authors and works of art at all? Who makes fun of memes about art history expletives? And what does the public think about all of this? We discuss these and other questions with exhibition authors, museums, and independent curators.
