Mit der Wiedereröffnung des Wien Museums am Karlsplatz erhält das musa seine ursprüngliche Widmung als Ausstellungsort für zeitgenössische Kunst zurück und startet mit den 2000er Jahren als Fortführung der erfolgreichen Jahrzehntereihe aus den Sammlungsbeständen.
Bye-bye Zuversicht – das erste Jahrzehnt des neuen Jahrhunderts: Das Gefühl eines Neuanfangs nach glücklich überstandenem Jahrtausendsprung wurde am 11. September 2001 mit dem Terroranschlag auf das World Trade Center in New York abrupt beendet. Künstler:innen verhandelten Themen wie Migration, die Annäherung von Ästhetik und Ökonomie, kollektives Gedächtnis und verfremdete Natur. Auch die Beobachtung des eigenen Körpers und der aufkeimende Selfie-Kult dank der neuen Smartphones wurden häufig behandelt und namenlose Stadtsituationen als Nicht-Orte mit der Kamera dokumentiert. Die Malerei konnte sich behaupten und feierte [...]

Generalization is the first survey of artist Tania Pérez Córdova (b. 1979, Mexico City) in a United States institution, featuring a selection of twenty-four works made over the past ten years, as well as objects specially commissioned for this occasion. The exhibition presents a reading of Pérez Córdova’s work through issues that her artistic endeavors have sought to address: the passage of time, the nature of materials, the gaze of the other, the imminence or possibility of an action, the way in which we assign value to objects, negative space, and more recently, the insufficiency of discourse. Generalization is the artist’s most significant and comprehensive exhibition in the U.S. to date, providing audiences with a first opportunity to survey the breadth and depth of the last decade of Pérez Córdova’s idiosyncratic and innovative works across media. Primarily using materials that are historically [...]

Roman Ondak, Parallel Worlds, 2022, Acryl auf Holz, 21 x 31 x 8 cm
Roman Ondak’s practice brings together various methodologies, from simply formulated situations in which he binds relationships between members of his family, various groups of people or spectators entering his exhibitions, to modified found objects or constructed spatial installations. Space and time are often systematically thematised in his works and intertwined with his personal history, bearing fragments of his memories of the years he spent as a child and teenager in relatively isolated Czechoslovakia during the autocratic communist regime.
Ondak grew to understand society’s attempt to order existence through divisions and classifications of inclusion and exclusion. This structure’s failure is what the artist questions in his work by revealing the potential of other orders, other patterns of behaviour, and, ultimately, alternative social and political possibilities. The impression that his work often gives, of [...]

Experience art by smelling, touching, hearing and seeing Curators: Charles Esche, Diana Franssen, Steven ten Thije
Multi-sensory collection presentation Featuring 120 pieces of art and spanning all five floors of the museum’s collection wing, Delinking and Relinking invites you to experience art differently. Sometimes in the literal sense, by touching, smelling or listening to it; other times metaphorically, by giving expression to different, lesser-known voices. Mostly inspiring and occasionally confrontational, Delinking and Relinking spans more than a century of art history, with Hommage à Apollinaire by Marc Chagall from 1913 as earliest work and This Means Tableau from 2019 by Laure Prouvost as most recent work.
Multi-sensory With over 25 multi-sensory tools, including texts in Braille, scent interpretations, tactile drawings and soundscapes, Delinking and [...]
