Kamini Sawhney, Marko Daniel
In this edition of The Directors’ Cut, we are joined by Marko Daniel, Director of the Joan Miró Foundation since 2018, former Head of Public Programmes at Tate Modern and Tate Britain in London, and expert in contemporary Chinese and Catalan art. The Joan Miró Foundation is a space that was created by Joan Miró himself with the idea of making art accessible to all.
Located in Montjuïc Park, Barcelona, Joan Miró Foundation is a vibrant cultural hub celebrating the work of Joan Miró and other 20th and 21st century artists. The museum boasts the world’s most significant public collection of Miró’s works, supplemented by donations and private collections. It was the first museum in Spain to launch an educational programme, and has awarded the prestigious Premi Joan Miró to emerging artists since 2007. The Foundation serves not only as a cultural landmark but also as a platform for creativity, education, and social change, embodying Miró’s vision of art’s transformative power.
The Directors’ Cut series, hosted by MAP’s Director, Kamini Sawhney, offers a glimpse into how the institution of the museum is being reimagined and reinvented today, and presents a unique opportunity to hear from reputed practitioners in museums around the world.
