| "Pacific Modernities: Museum Culture and Civic Engagement,"
hosted jointly by UC Irvine and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles,
at MOCA on March 10-11, 2006
This international conference will be an examination of how the dynamic economies of the Pacific Rim respond to the need for museums with a set of cultural policies suited to their increasingly prosperous and sophisticated citizenry. This is a crucial moment to examine the relationship between museum and cultural policy, and to trace the creation of public spaces and the civic engagements that those spaces imply. The conference hopes to add to the important historical and ethnographic dimensions in current debates about culture and public sphere around the Pacific Rim.
