‚The Desire for Freedom. Art in Europe since 1945‘ opens at MOCAK!

We have not exactly lost count of all our openings (this was the fourth), but the MOCAK (Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow) opening was definitely a bit different than the rest.

Goodbye DHM – und nun?

Vor einigen Wochen rief das Residenzmuseum München zur Kultur-Blogparade 2013 auf. Kulturinstitutionen wurden gebeten über ihren Arbeitsalltag zu berichten, hinter die Kulissen zu schauen, über anstehende Projekte, Ausstellungen und Veränderungen zu erzählen. Nun haben wir das Zeitfenster (Frist war Sonntag, der 17.02.) leider verpasst (und entschuldigen uns vielmals dafür!), wollten aber dennoch kurz ein paar Zeilen schreiben, wie es bei uns weitergeht.

Stories from our Travels, Part V

In the fifth instalment of our ‘Stories from our Travels’, co-curator Ulrike Schmiegelt tells us about a trip that she and our curator Monika Flacke took to Moscow in search of additional objects for the exhibition. A further protagonist in the story: a sparrow on Stalin’s head countering Soviet nostalgia.

Stories from Our Travels, Part IV

Part of our exhibition was supposed be displayed at the Art Gallery of Bosnia and Herzegovina in Sarajevo from May to July 2014. An international seminar, The Realities of Politics, was planned for the same period. Both events had to be cancelled because the Art Gallery was forced to close. Prior to the closure, its employees had been struggling for almost a year to keep the museum functioning without pay or other financial means. The National Museum and six other institutions were also forced to close in early October 2012. The museum employees nailed thick wooden boards across the entry door, marked with the words, ‘Closed’—after 124 years. Our co-curator Henry Meyric Hughes explains the reasons, which are as tragic as they are political, in his recounting of the trip to Sarajevo.

Stories from Our Travels, Part III

A brief anecdote from Ms Flacke, about how she found the Fangor in Łódź, and why for some pictures, you just have to go back once again.
