Nice slide of MCA Australia there -

Marcus - museums can be sexy - but we do risk lazy policy makers just supporting the nicely packaged proposition #MCA25 #mcabnf

#MCA25 #mcabnf Touching on issue of supply and demand- people want art - imbalance in a lack of spaces to make art

Marcus - 'we live in a world that values museums more than we value artists' #mcabnf #MCA25

#mcabnf #MCA25 Artists have less and less space to create - they do need museums but they need studios and art schools more

Marcus - triumph of the edifice over the content - museums so huge, connected to brand as opposed to content and context #mcabnf #MCA25

Marcus Westbury on last, against museums - feeling set up having to follow Liz Ann...#mcabnf #MCA25

As long as artists continue to make art- which they will as we are driven to create - we need museums who say 'this matters' #mcabnf #MCA25

#mcabnf #MCA25 EAM making the case for materiality; for a social experience; to see what artists do; to interact

#mcabnf #MCA25 Liz Ann Mcgregor up last arguing for museums - people are drawn to see 'real' things - to be in the presence of art

#mcabnf #MCA25 MCA becomes luxury apartments in 2045 - real estate, shopping, plastic surgeons-

#mcabnf #MCA25 a world in 2045 has no new artists emerging - public museums are for private users only

#mcabnf #MCA25 Cherine Fahd argues against the motion, imagining art in 2045. Where children no longer dream, but demand

Museums are where you see what artists are doing - Gerber #MCA25 #mcabnf

For art to survive it needs to be used by other artists - to be seen slowly #MCA25 #mcabnf

The relevance of art now is seen by the amount of audiences attending the museum #mcabnf #MCA25
