'The New Museum’, an international project set up at the end of the ‘80’s by Chris Dercon and Stefaan Decostere for the purpose of making a television documentary. The project aimed at nothing less than a complete exploration of the museum as a historical model of worldmaking, as a means of organizing knowledge and culture into a coherent picture. One of the projects’ opportunities to overstep the limits of the normal television documentary was its conception of the programme as a building consisting of several storeys and rooms. Unfortunately the plan did never go on the air due to its technical complexity at the time.
