Thinking Outside the Box

The year 2016 is an important one for Museum Haus Konstruktiv: we are celebrating our 30th anniversary. To mark this occasion, our constantly growing collection is acknowledged in the extensive group exhibition "Thinking Outside the Box". In this exhibition, we deliberately avoid using external loaned items and concentrate exclusively on works from the collection. The selection was made from over 900 works, more than 100 of which have been added since the last major anniversary year, 2011. We intend to focus, in particular, on these new additions and on the historical legacy of several key figures in constructivist-concrete art. In the "guest interventions", we position the selected exhibits within the echo chamber of contemporary art. This includes various artistic strategies and media (video, performance, painting, sculpture and conceptual text/image works) that produce contextual shifts and breaking points, and which can be seen as humorous subversive commentary.
