Summary/Abstract: The interview is interested in discussing the curatorial practices of a regional contemporary art museum, the MODEM Center for Modern and Contemporary Art in Debrecen. The institution has important international connections and a regionally unique infrastructure. However, its geographic location implies special strategic requirements. The primary goal of the institution is to strengthen its presence in the Hungarian art life and to consolidate a multilevel and manifold national and international network. The museum aims to create a new narrative, in order to change the public opinion about the role of contemporary art and to integrate visual culture into our everyday life.
