Always,
Always, Others: Non-Classical Forays into Modernism
at Museum
Moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig (Ludwig Foundation), Austria / Vienna
Oct 10,
2015 - May 16, 2016
Parallel to
and in conjunction with Müller’s solo show, the artist and curator Manuela
Ammer present a new selection of works of classical modernism from the mumok
collection, which proves to be more diverse than past presentations have
suggested. Alongside frequently shown positions such as André Derain, Oskar
Kokoschka, and František Kupka, this new selection also includes works by the
Hungarian artist Béla Kádár, who combined abstraction with folklore idioms, by
French artist André Beaudin, whose depictions of animals challenged the
formulaic nature of cubism, and by the Viennese artists Mathilde Flögl and
Friedl Dicker, who aimed at shaping social and political realities through
their work in the applied arts. Classical modernism mumok-style is polyvocal.
To make
this wide range of voices heard, the curators are staging a dialog with another
rarely shown part of the collection—the eclectic 1970s, whose alternative
images of bodies and concepts of identity make classical modernism suddenly
look remarkably “unclassical” and astonishingly contemporary.
