POSITIONS

Curator: Nick Aikens

Five projects in dialogue

Positions is a new exhibition format that sets a series of projects in dialogue with one another in the ten galleries of the museum's old building. With each artist presenting a significant body of work, many produced for the exhibition and others developed through collaborations with art organisations throughout the world, Positions explores different tones of contemporary artistic voices.

The five distinct presentations examine how we position ourselves in the world today – often making visible frameworks, subjects and ideas that are felt but not seen. The exhibition unfolds as a conversation between a series of installations, films and architectural interventions that move between different geographical and political contexts and invite us to consider how agency - collective or individual - is both granted and taken away.

Positions 2014 includes:

- Lawrence Abu Hamdan;
- Céline Condorelli;
- Bouchra Khalili;
- Charles van Otterdijk;
- Koki Tanaka.
