PAINTINGS FROM THE 1980S AND 1990S

MUDAM COLLECTION

Starting in the autumn of 2018, Mudam launches a new cycle unveiling the museum’s collection and its history. This first chapter features a rich selection of paintings from the 1980s and 1990s. It presents the diversity of possibilities offered by the medium in terms of a history of painting.

JEFF WALL

APPEARANCE

Since the late 1970s, Jeff Wall, a major art figure in recent decades, has been developing an oeuvre which has greatly changed the way we look at the photographic medium. By including it within a pictorial tradition and thinking about its relations to the other arts – painting, first and foremost, but also film, literature and theatre –, he has re-defined its essence and opened up a whole avenue of possibilities. This major exhibition brings together some thirty works by the artist, both recent and older.

ART & CRAFT

Inventive and displaying considerable freedom, the six artists gathered in this exhibition re-explore the field of traditional arts and revisit various means of expression from the fields of applied arts and architecture.

STAN DOUGLAS

MUDAM COLLECTION

The cinematic installation Le Détroit (1999-2000) by renowned Canadian artist Stan Douglas is one of the major pieces from the Mudam Collection and will be presented for the first time in Luxembourg.

BEYOND THE NEW

HELLA JONGERIUS & LOUISE SCHOUWENBERG / GUEST: ALEXANDRE HUMBERT

Following the 2018 acquisition of Privileged Points - a monumental sculpture work by Iranian artist Nairy Baghramian (*1971) - into the Mudam Collection, Mudam Luxembourg - Musee d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean is proud to invite Baghramian to present her work for the launch of the Park Dräi Eechelen new sculpture programme.

SUBJECTS OF LIFE

PHOTOGRAPHY IN THE MUDAM COLLECTION

As part of the ongoing series of presentations dedicated to the Mudam Collection, Subjects of Life highlights a selection of emblematic artworks from the museum’s collection of photography. This selection encourages a reflection on the medium through questions of representation and the effects of the image on our perception of reality, notions of territory, and the represented subject.
