Walid Raad

Immerse yourself in our large, rich art collection based on the theme ”Travels in Time and Space”. See Pascal Sébah’s photographs of pyramids, Henri Matisse’s Moroccan landscapes, Ivan Aguéli’s Egyptian paintings and Tora Vega Holmström’s painting ”Främlingar”. Paris was not the only destination which artists and photographers travelled to  in the 20th century to get inspiration, meet colleagues and exchange ideas. They also travelled to cities like Algiers, Tangier, Cairo and Constantinople which motivated them to experiment with new shapes, colours and motifs. The guided tour is free and no booking is required.

Meet the artist Walid Raad in a unique performance. The work interweaves historical, political, economic, cultural and philosophical threads into a narrative that is dizzying, imaginative, and illuminating. ”Kicking the Dead and/or Les Louvres” is a part of the exhibition ”Walid Raad: Let’s be honest, the weather helped”. Ticket is required. Welcome!
