Moderna Museet c/o Magasin 3 Stockholm Konsthall

23.3 2002 – 16.6 2002

Stockholm

Moderna Museet closed down for reparations 15th January this year, even so the museum’s famous collection of 20th century art will still be available for the public. During the following year and a half, different art institutions will browse around in our collection, from the famous modernist painters and sculptors to videos and photography. Each art institution will then make their own selection in order to create new exhibitions showing our collections in new and exciting percpectives.

First out is the well known art gallery Magasin 3 in Frihamnen. They have chosen to focus on abstract sculpture and have found a number of works in the collection that have never or seldom been exhibited before. Also a number of well known masterpieces will be included in the exhibition which will exhibit a mixture of equal numbers of Swedish and international works. The exhibition will open March 23rd and close June 16th.

Artists: Olle Bonniér, Lee Bontecou, Robert Breer, Viking Eggeling, Lars Englund, Annika Eriksson, Max Ernst, Lucio Fontana, Eric Grate, Gary Hill, Arne Jones, Louise Lawler, Sivert Lindblom, LG Lundberg, Carl Axel Lunding, Ebba Matz, Lars Millhagen, Louise Nevelson, KG Nilson, Claes Oldenburg, Palle Pernevi, Francis Picabia, Man Ray, Ulf Rollof, Jesus Rafael Soto, Georges Vantongerloo, Victor Vasarely, Ruth Vollmer, Nell Walden.

Curators: David Neuman, Richard Julin

Opening hours: Saturday-Sunday 12-17 and Thursday 12-19

Next in row, later this summer, is Skulpturens Hus where work thematising movement, the body and identity is shown. Included are pieces by Alexander Calder, Katarzyna Kozyra, Sam Taylor-Wood and Jaan Toomik. This autumn Waldemarsudde gets their turn, where an attempt to create Prins Eugen’s idea of a contemporary art museum will be made.

So even if the building is closed there are still possibilities to see Moderna Museet’s collection – seen through new eyes.
