The Museum as Hub, a partnership of five international arts organizations that was initiated by the New Museum in 2006, has launched a special website. It features content and news from this global network, which was established as a new model for curatorial practice and institutional collaboration and wishes to enhance our understanding of contemporary art. Both a network of relationships and an actual physical site located in the fifth-floor Education Center in the newly built New Museum, Museum as Hub is conceived as a flexible, social space designed to engage audiences through multimedia workstations, exhibition areas, screenings, symposia, and events. Besides the New Museum, the partnership includes Insa Art Space (Seoul, South-Korea), Townhouse Gallery (Cairo, Egypt), Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo (Mexico City, Mexico) and Van Abbemuseum (Eindhoven, Netherlands).

The interactive timeline for Be[com]ing Dutch
In 2007 the Van Abbemuseum already launched the project Be[com]ing Dutch, starting with a weekend of talks, debates and art projects in January and leading up to an intensive three week international Caucus from 9th November until 2nd December 2007. Several collaborative projects will run through November 2008 with the partners. The final phase will be a large-scale exhibition of newly commissioned works in the Van Abbemuseum in May 2008 and a publication due November 2008.
