SYDNEY.- CIMAM has held its Annual Conference from November 15 to 17 hosted by the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia in Sydney, with a successful attendance of over 200 participants and the appointment of the new President for the International Committee for Museums and Collections of Modern Art (CIMAM), in addition to the nomination of the new Board.

Mami Kataoka, to be appointed Director of Mori Art Museum from January 1, 2020, has declared: “I am thrilled to take this role of President of CIMAM as the first non-European President in its history. This is a reflection and expectation of the fact that CIMAM should be a truly global organization of modern and contemporary art museum professionals across the world. Together with our very experienced and engaged CIMAM Board and together with all the 600 plus CIMAM members, I am excited to see how CIMAM can contribute to the museum community and the contemporary society in the next three years."

Over 200 modern and contemporary art museum professionals attended the CIMAM Annual Conference debates around the topics The 21st Century Art Museum: Is Context Everything?; Challenging the Narrative: Indigenous Perspectives; The Future of Collections; and Beyond the Walls.

Mami Kataoka gives a concluding overview on the conference: “The world surrounding museums of Modern and Contemporary Art is extremely complex with diverse context. If museums are transformative and active agency to reflect this world we are living, all of the issues we had discussed in Sydney during CIMAM Annual Conference, such as decolonization, new meaning of collection in relationship with art market, sustainability, ethics and funding, and museum activity beyond object, wall and building, must be discussed continuously on the CIMAM platform.”
