COLLECTION XXIV |
||
EXHIBITIONSIt is the task of a museum of contemporary art to represent the complexity of artistic actuality as well as to elucidate the underlying lines of force, possible questionings and relations with previous or contemporary phenomena. M HKA this by means of –amongst other things- large-scale exhibitions on the occasion of which it always try to show connections and build bridges between divergent fields of interest, for instance a calling into question of a specific context as linked to an approach of an artistic understanding and to a politics of presentation.There are four large-scale exhibitions per year, following the rhythm of the season. They are displayed on the ground floor. |
PRESENTATIONSA collection does not tell one large story, but several partial ones; it can be looked at from different angles. For this reason, M HKA opts to show it collection of international contemporary art (from 1970 onwards) in regularly changing constellations, rather than in one allegedly ‘ideal’ version, more or less like a series in which each chapter resonates with a different voice. |
INTERVENTIONSIn addition to large-scale exhibitions on the ground floor and the attention which its collection receives, M HKA also engages in more modest, but hence not less important projects with artists who are being invited to ‘intervene’ in the presentation of the collection, to literally ‘take a stand’ in the latter and to engage in a dialogue between their own work and works from the collection. Such interventions may have a laboratory function, both for the artist who is enabled to try out something and for the museum as an institution; moreover, it offers the opportunity to the public to sense the very heartbeat of contemporary art. |
