Joined by curator Anne Faucheret, the team of Palais des Beaux Arts – Bernhard Garnicnig (Artistic Director), Maren Mayer-Schwieger (Research) and Fabian Faltin (Dramaturgy) – met at L’Exposition Imaginaire  in Kunsthalle Wien to discuss the essence of cultural institutions in the post-digital age and imagine the next steps in the genealogy of Wunderkammer – Museum – Archive.

How does the progressing digitization influence exhibition making and how do exhibition venues deal with this tendency towards dematerialization? L’Exposition Imaginaire sought to answer these questions through lectures, talks and discussions featuring artists, art historians, architects and scholars. Some of the talks took place live in the exhibition space, while some were broadcast through the format of a video projection.
