Museum in Motion.
Collection for the 21st Century
Museum in Motion presents a selection of large- scale installations, sculptures, and photographic series from the collection of Hamburger Bahnhof – Nationalgalerie der Gegenwart- Each raises questions about the evolving role of the museum of contemporary art. As part of a long-term cooperation, works from the Federal Collection at Contemporary Art are also integrated into the presentation. The exhibition’s title highlights that museums are not static, but spaces in motion that continually adapt to meet the challenges posed by the art of the present and future.
As society changes, so does art, reflecting the inseparable connection between artists, museums, and the world around them. A museum of contemporary art is part of society driving the creation of culture and urging a constant adaption to changing times. Amid new conditions of the present, including rapidly evolving technology, shifting societal demographics, and the Inherent limitation ot the museum itself, Hamburger Bahnhof looks to the future, seeking to meet the challenges ahead.
Art and its representatives in relation to evolution
Art and its representatives can reflect and respond to evolutionary themes, such as the portrayal of human anatomy, natural landscapes, and the exploration of the human condition. Contemporary discussions about art and evolution often consider the ways in which artistic practices can influence human thought, behavior, and social structures, which can have downstream effects on evolutionary processes.
