The developments and topics of our time are also of interest to artists and museums. Two of the most prominent personalities in the German art world today are Susanne Pfeffer, Director of the Museum für Moderne Kunst MMK in Frankfurt, and Yilmaz Dziewior, Director of the Museum Ludwig in Cologne and curator of the German Pavilion at the next Biennale in Venice. Both stand for pursuing a resolute course towards the opening and renewal of the institution of the museum. In this interview, they present their museums and talk about societal diversity, antiracism, ecology and the seismographic sensitivity artists have for contemporary times.
