MACBA Collection. Itinerary

Privado
Público

Any art collection that seeks to be truly contemporary must remain open to an array of different readings rather than being guided by an accumulative or encyclopaedic intent. Based on this idea, in 2002 MACBA embarked on a re-reading of its collection that sought to revise the bourgeois, teleological and progressive nature of the art history that had influenced a large part of European art collecting.

WERE IT AS IF. Beyond an Institution That Is

Privado
Público

Obra de Antoni Muntadas citada en el inventario.

Whom does a contemporary art institute like Witte de With belong to? How are its stories told and untold? And could a staging of its exhibition history through traces, remains, and scars constitute an act of resistance against the tide of accumulation? This publication follows WERE IT AS IF by Bik Van der Pol as a case study and much more. Many-voiced, it enlists the power of fragments as points of provocation to engage with methodologies of the contemporary.
