THEATRE OF THE WORLD
19 October 2013 - 19 January 2014
a collaborative exhibition between the Museum of Old and New Art and the
Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery
curator : Jean-Hubert Martin
assistant curators : Nicole Durling, Olivier Varenne and Tijs Visser
For its tenth showing of a private collection, la maison rouge invites David Walsh, founder of the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Tasmania. Curator Jean-Hubert Martin has delved into David Walsh’s own collection, as well as that of the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery (TMAG), to show together apparently "heterogeneous" objects and question museal conventions. Théâtre du Monde strikes relations, whether corresponding or contrasting, between the form or meaning of these works of different origins. Unexpected resemblances are brought to light through themes such as eyes, body, double or war. An entire gallery is given over to an outstanding collection of Polynesian tapas.
selected artists : Berlinde de Bruyckere, Emily, Iannis Kounellis, Juul Kraijer, Sidney Nolan, les frères Chapman, Wim Delvoye, AS & PCDC , ...
