Introduction

The subject "Management and Curation of Art Exhibitions and Heritage Assets" offers an analysis of curatorial practices and the management of heritage assets in the context of a contemporary art museum, addressing how museums and cultural stakeholders interact with artistic practices and current social, political, and cultural contexts. It is organized into two parallel modalities: 1) Strategy and lines of research, management, conservation, and curating of an art collection, directed by Claudia Segura Campins, Head of Collection at MACBA; 2) Management and curating of temporary exhibitions, directed by Hiuwai Chu, Head of Exhibitions at MACBA.
