Their project National Collection took the form of participatory tours. These performances were presented over several weeks at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 2015, whose original site was where Israel\u0026#39;s 1948 Declaration of Independence ceremony took place. Questioning the relations between national and cultural identity, the central idea was to revisit the performativity of the foundational moment of a nation state, and the embodiment of nationalistic ideals in newly formed cultural institutions. Their work for the MONOCULTURE exhibition offers a continuation of this project, considering the museum as a civic space where the experience of art can act as a reflection of cultural heritage. Resembling foundational plaques at the entrance to the museum, it bears the legend \u0026ldquo;Imagine this museum is a country and in this country there is a museum\u0026rdquo;.

Ze bekijkt de relatie tussen staatsmacht en het kunstveld en onderzoekt daarbij structuren en ideologie\u0026euml;n die zich vertalen in institutioneel en cultureel beleid. Hun project National Collection nam de vorm aan van participatieve reizen. Deze performances werden gedurende meerdere weken gepresenteerd in het Tel Aviv Museum of Art in 2015, waar in 1948 de ceremonie van Isra\u0026euml;ls onafhankelijkheidsverklaring plaatsvond. De relaties tussen nationale en culturele identiteit werden in vraag gesteld. Het centrale idee bestond eruit het oprichtingsmoment van een natiestaat (die hier ondanks de symbolische locatie vaag werd gehouden) als performance te activeren, inclusief de belichaming van nationalistische idealen in nieuw gevormde culturele instellingen. Public Movements bijdrage aan de tentoonstelling Monoculture is een voortzetting van dit project. Het museum wordt gezien als een openbare ruimte waar de ervaring van kunst kan fungeren als een weerspiegeling van cultureel erfgoed. Het werk lijkt op de plaatjes die je aantreft bij de ingang van een museum met daarop info over de stichters, maar hier staat in de plaats daarvan: \u0026ldquo;Stel je voor dat dit museum een land is en in dit land is er een museum.\u0026rdquo; Deze merkwaardige feedback-lus evoceert de cyclische relaties tussen cultuur en politiek.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"fr","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003ePublic Movement est un groupe travaillant avec la performance qui consid\u0026egrave;re la relation entre le pouvoir de l\u0026#39;\u0026Eacute;tat et la sph\u0026egrave;re de l\u0026#39;art, explorant les structures et les id\u0026eacute;ologies qui se traduisent en politiques institutionnelles et culturelles.
