Museums Talk to host German arts director


Conducted by Istanbul Modern, with the contribution of Goethe-Institut Istanbul, the "Museums Talk" program will continue on tomorrow to host Germany. The art director of Cologne Academy of Arts of the World, Dr. Ekaterina Degot, will share her experiences. Bringing the curators of world's pioneering museums together with the Turkish people, Museums Talk creates a new sharing network and communication platform in museum studies.

The program, "Museums Talk: From Germany," focuses on the models of museums and arts organizations in Germany by hosting the curators and museum directors of German arts organizations. In addition to her position at the Academy of Arts of the World, arts writer and curator Ekaterina Degot is also the instructor at the Rodchenko Moscow School of Photography.

Awarded with Igor Zabel Award for Culture and Therapy in 2014, Degot conducted projects like "What Did the Artist Mean by That?" at the Moscow Modern Arts Museum in 2014 (with Yuri Albert) and "Monday Begins on Saturday" in 2013 (with David Riff.) Degot is also one of the editors of the book, "Post-Post-Soviet?: Art, Politics and Society in Russia at the Turn of the Decade."
