A book is closed when we get to the end. But how do we close an exhibition? And what happens if it is an extension of a book – a microcosm in itself, but also a running commentary on the printed word? Katharina Erben and Jens Imig (both from gewerkdesign, Berlin) and Peter Imig (Omniversum, Hamburg) talk to Katarina Wadstein Macleod (Södertörn University) about the work behind “Atlas”, how literature can be conceived in three dimensions, and much more. The author, Aris Fioretos, on whose critically-acclaimed book the exhibition was based, will be present. The bar opens after the event. Free admission.

See ”Stones Have Laws (Dee Sitonu a Weti)” by Lonnie van Brummelen & Siebren de Haan. The film is an immersive initiation into the life of a Maroon community in the former Dutch colony of Suriname. Combining stories of African ancestral traditions and escaped slavery with enacted contemporary rituals, the film explores how the community’s powerful ties to the land have become endangered as industries threaten to devastate the region through deforestation and mining. Book your free ticket: filmklubben@modernamuseet.se.

Immerse yourself in our large, rich art collection based on the theme ”Abstraction, spirituality and movement”. In this guided tour you will encounter artists who in various locations and with disparate ideas developed abstract styles. Wassily Kandinsky, Alexandra Ekster, Kazimir Malevich are some of the artist who in various ways explored invisible realities. At the beginning of the last century there was great interest in the spiritual, not least with Hilma af Klint and the group The Five. This era also coincides with the development of modern physics, the discovery of the X-ray and new scientific theories. The guided tour is free and no booking is required.

Ticket is required. Welcome!
