Collectors Agenda

In the Studio Jean-Marie Appriou, Paris

Through his process-driven practice, he explores themes of mythology, subconscious realms, and universal narratives. In his sculptures, the artist blends classic influences with contemporary narratives, bridging his respect for ancient artistic traditions with a fascination for science fiction and different states of perception.

In the Studio Christian Rothwangl, Vienna

‘The brush must also think for itself.’, comments Christian Rothwangl on his work. However it is the artist himself who does most of the thinking.

In the Studio Göksu Kunak, Berlin

Driven by a desire to “say something politically,” Kunak’s performances—staged in galleries, theaters, and outdoor spaces—are deeply informed by their Muslim upbringing, as well as the history and politics of Turkey.

Collector Stories Sanna-Mari Jäntti, Helsinki

With the initiative to establish a Guggenheim museum, the city of Helsinki has undertaken yet another step to raise its profile among an international art scene that could benefit the entire Nordic region. We met Sanna-Mari Jäntti, who has played a crucial role in the Guggenheim Helsinki project (that unfortunately has been discontinued), to talk with her about the initial challenges of the project, how David beat Goliath in the world’s largest architectural competition, and how doing it the “Finnish way” made all the difference.

Beyond mere chronology and style histories, the exhibition The World of Tomorrow Will Have Been Another Present at traces narratives in the mumok collection of classical modernism that resonate to the present day. The departure point is a form of speculation firmly anchored in temporality—a temporality with circular tendencies.
