    Artistic Practices around 1990

    Saturday, October 10, 2015 to Sunday, January 24, 2016

    Vienna

    In fall 2015, mumok will look back at international art activities
    around 1990. On three levels, we are showing installations,
    publications, objects, projects, films, and interventions by more
    than 50 artists and artists’ groups. They all question traditional
    forms of exhibiting and address the pressing social challenges of
    their time.

    The words /to expose, to show, to demonstrate, to inform, to offer/
    may seem to define the functions of an exhibition very clearly, but
    around 1990 there were many open questions as to what art should be
    offering, how it should be exhibited and made public.

    In the context of larger societal changes around 1990, artists
    increasingly discussed the social functions and base of their work.
    Reflecting on the conditions of artistic production and art’s
    presentation was, in various ways, intertwined with work on actual
    social issues. The status of the object of art and its economic
    foundation was a subject of contentious debate, as were the
    mechanisms of social exclusion, identity politics, and gender
    issues—and the AIDS crisis was reaching a pivotal point. In
    addition, the consequences of the fall of the Iron Curtain as well
    as a rapidly advancing globalization left their traces throughout.

    /to expose, to show, to demonstrate, to inform, to offer/ brings
    together artworks and projects that, around 1990, focused as an
    investigative site modes of display and conditions of reception. The
    exhibition will be shown on three levels of mumok, presenting
    internationally renowned artists and also positions and projects
    that to date have rarely been considered in museums.
