Art and “Worldmindedness”
(D. Phillips)

A Panel Discussion as part of INTERCOM 2015, the International Committee of Museum Management within the International Council of Museums (ICOM)

Guided by the mandate of its founder, Duncan Phillips, to make “a global conversation through the language of modern art” a central unifying theme of the museum’s programming and exhibitions, The Phillips Collection seeks to forge new intersections between the arts and diplomacy in today’s global culture.

The session will highlight some the museum’s recent international initiatives and partnerships, such as its collaborations with the US State Department and Georgetown University’s The School of Foreign Service, its Leading International Composers program, and a multi-year partnership with the Nordic Embassies of Washington, DC (representing Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) to celebrate artistic talent while building intercultural understanding of environmental sustainability and its relationship to personal well-being—themes central to Nordic life.

Panelists Include:
Duncan Phillips
Jette Renneberg Elkjaer
Shiloh Krupar
Klaus Ottmann
Virginia Shore

About the Conference:

Three major conference themes: The Sustainable Leader, The Enduring Organization, and the Essential Museum.

Six national museums in downtown Washington, DC will serve as the host venues: The George Washington Museum and the Textile Museum, the National Building Museum, the National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, The Phillips Collection and the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Smithsonian Museum.

INTERCOM is in partnership with the Museum Studies Program of the George Washington University and ICOM-US. Join international museum leaders and those from museum-related organizations to examine together this critical topic. The program includes two and a half days of conference discussions, three evening events and Washington, DC museum tours. INTERCOM 2015 is the first time INTERCOM’s Annual Meeting has been held in the United States.
