The Museum conducts organization of exhibitions of current art production, especially in terms of guest artists, which involves cooperation with other professional institutions from abroad.
The activity of the Museum involves that all organized installations are accompanied with proper catalogs, which represent fundamental publications of recent artworks. Previously accepted practice of publishing of curators’ prologue in catalogs is an indicator of professional standards in presentation and displaying. The expertise reception is very useful to the professional image of the Institution and to its permanent inclusion into complex relationships of understanding modern art. It gives an opportunity to insert new theoretical discourse of contemporary art interpretation, but also contributes to affirmation of audience, as a potentially training aspect of Museum activities.
