The Greatest Story Ever Told ―The Collection curated by Ryan Gander

April 29 – July 2, 2017

  • Previous

Using the instinctive human ability to think in terms of comparisons as a basic premise, the artist Ryan Gander will introduce works from the museum collection in pairs. While displaying a physical resemblance, the numerous pairs, derived from different genres and eras, will provide us with a host of new perspectives. They will also illustrate the fact that contemporary art does not rely on the abilities of an individual person, but is instead based on a body of common knowledge.
