  Irish Twists - Declan McGonagle and the Irish Museum of Modern Art ArtForum - Find Articles
On November 30 the Irish Times reported that McGonagle had been informed by the chair of the museum's board that his post was "being redefined and would be publicly advertised." McGonagle immediately applied to the Irish High Court for an injunction restraining the museum from placing an advertisement.
The Irish media has treated the dispute largely as a matter of clashing visions for the museum's future between McGonagle and Marie Donnelly, chair of an incoming board selected early in 2000 by the minister for arts.
His program for the fledgling IMMA was avowedly opposed to the model of the modern art museum as a temple for the veneration of canonical artworks, and he was seen as ideally qualified to guide a national museum with no preexisting collection through its formative years.

As the museum of modern art confronts the reality of works produced in digital media, it must meet yet another challenge to the integrity and logic of its method of presenting art.
If we accept the idea that a museum is an institution that enhances and, some might even say, creates art by framing objects and images, then the museum must respond to digital artists who demand new ways of framing their work.
With this in mind I knew that it was time for the museum to relinquish control both of the way the work was shown and the selection of the work to be shown.
