This autumn, Moderna Museet is giving an overview of the beginnings of modern art. The exhibitions Turner, Monet, Twombly: Later Paintings; Another Story; and de ou par Marcel Duchamp par Ulf Linde offer a unique opportunity to experience the way that painting, photography and ideas came together to create modernism in a collaboration between eye, hand, machine and brain.
Modernism’s moment will be encapsulated in seven afternoons by seven speakers, who will discuss seven key concepts in the history of aesthetics, and in a talk with Jacques Rancière about his new book Aisthesis. The autumn’s activities will conclude with a symposium, Media and its messages, which will shed light on painting’s relationship with photography, and on the legacy of Marshall McLuhan in art and society, with participants including Douglas Coupland.
