Curator Franz Thalmair guides through the exhibition in dialog with Barbara Kapusta, Lisl Ponger and Anita Witek.

Nikita Kadan, Barbara Kapusta, Frida Orupabo, Lisl Ponger, and Anita Witek were invited to select works of classical modernism from the mumok Collection and enter into a dialogue with them. Departing from their own artworks, which are also among the museum’s acquisitions, and complemented by works that the artists have created or re-contextualized specifically for this occasion, these contemporaries not only form part of the history of the museum: by localizing themselves in art history, they participate in a discourse on contemporary art.
