OPENING - Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow. Museum of Contemporary Art turns 25
EXHIBITION PERIODE: JANUARY 30 – MAY 8, 2016
Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow., marks the 25th anniversary of Museum of Contemporary Art. The exhibition is curated by Danish artists; Hannah Heilmann, Kenneth A. Balfelt, Claus Haxholm, Rolf Nowotny and Olof Olsson. Each of them has delved into our collection and archives and focused on the aspects of the museum they consider relevant today. It is both a tribute to the past, a revival of a certain moment in time, a question of the exhibition format itself and an attempt to actualise the museum’s future role.
The exhibition is the first one in this year’s programme and marks a new direction in the history of the museum: a new vision and a new visual “look”.
