MONOCULTURE – ARTEFACTS
Ensemble
As with a number of exhibitions M HKA has organised in recent years exploring questions we feel to be relevant for society and culture at large, Monoculture – A Recent History is trans-disciplinary. Along with its core focus on visual art, we also include various historical artefacts into a dialogue. Most of the artefacts, including rare first-edition publications and paraphernalia, were acquired by the museum specifically for the exhibition. Consequently, the artefacts were preserved as part of the museum archive, with the intention of providing open access for researchers.
M HKA in no way endorses the extremist ideologies, historical acts of intolerance and sensitive images or texts that were shown in the exhibition. As a museum for art and visual culture, we consider it important to use and contextualise this material, bringing it in dialogue with contemporary art and discourse, in order to ask relevant questions about society and culture at large.
