Collectors Agenda

In the Studio Liliane Lijn, London

Although Liliane Lijn might best be known for her “kinetic art”, her artistic scope goes far beyond movement. Since the 1960s, Lijn has pioneered a new way of working with a multitude of materials, from plastics to minerals, exploring the intersection between language and image.

In the Studio Ali Cherri, Paris and Beirut

Ali Cherry’s practice consists of video installations, drawings, sculptures and films. Exploring different geographies of violence, the Lebanese artist based in Paris often works with broken and damaged artefacts of history. Traumatic experiences of violence are not something to be hidden, but instead used as fuel for contemplating the future.

In the Studio Huda Takriti, Vienna

Huda Takriti was born in Syria, where she studied art at the University of Damascus. Working as a trans-disciplinary artist, Takriti uses video, film, installation, painting and performative situations to challenge traditional perceptions of history and politics.

Collector Stories Claus Busch Risvig, Silkeborg

Claus Busch Risvig didn’t grow up with art, and yet, the Danish collector ended up devoting his life to it. Be it on social media or in real life, he shares his contemporary art collection with people from around the world, determined to initiate dialogue around art and show the rest of the world that collecting art is not just for the few.

Where to meet art, culture and creativity

The German artist duo Anna and Bernhard Blume are internationally renowned for their black and white photographs. The duo staged performative actions and captured them on camera. Most are bizarrely arranged domestic scenes. The two artists are the performers themselves, she with a perm, wig, and a neat dress, he in a small checked suit and hat. With irony and humor, the Blumes counteract gender patterns, roles, and clichés as well as bourgeois codes of behavior.

The exhibition Mapping the 60s is based on the thought that substantial sociopolitical movements of the twenty-first century have their roots in the 1960s. Black Lives Matter and #MeToo, for example, have built on the anti-racist and feminist upheavals of yesteryear—as have current debates on war, mass media and mechanization, consumerism, and capitalism.
