Round tables

In the past few years, the reference to the visual symbols of modernity, the reappropriation of geometric abstraction and the recycling of popular culture and its materials have become common resources in artistic practice. Contemporary artistic research on the condition, limits and consequences of modernity is the crux of the Modernologies exhibition.

At the round tables scheduled for the day after the opening, nine of the participating artists will discuss three questions related to the idea of modernity and its contemporary appeal.

Curator: Sabine Breitwieser
