#ListeAsks Heike Munder, Director Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst @migrosmuseum, Zurich: ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In what ways has the current state of uncertainty and unpredictability changed your attitude or approach towards curating? ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀⁠⠀ "An important aspect of curating is to be able to plan and to be flexible at the same time, while also working closely together with the artist. In this time, such working methods are more needed than ever; luckily, we have practice in it. We had also already limited our research travels before the Corona crisis, both for ecological and time-related reasons, so this aspect did not and will not change through the current situation. One new effect is that it now seems easier to organise Zoom events with artists and experts from all over the world, which we welcome as an ecologically-conscious possibility for discussing exhibitions and art."

Our exhibition Potential Worlds 1: Planetary Memories had to close one week after its opening. The birds in Mark Dion’s Installation The Library for the Birds of Zürich (2016/2020) had to move back to their owners, and we also had to leave the museum for months. We are thus happy to be back now, together with the canary birds and zebra finches, to bring back life in the museum.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀⁠⠀ #Liste2020 #ListeArtFair #ListeArtFairBasel #HeikeMunder
