The exhibition Avant-Garde and Liberation (June 7 to September 22) presents works by artists from South Asia, Africa, Europe, and America and highlights the significance of global modernity for contemporary art and explores the motives that lead contemporary artists to draw on liberationist avant-gardes in India, Africa, and the "Black Atlantic."
Simultaneously with the opening exhibition, the large wall work by Korean artist Jongsuk Yoon will be unveiled in the foyer of mumok. Yoon's delicate painterly approach to Kumgangsan, the border mountains between North and South Korea, serves as a bridge between Western and Southeast Asian painting traditions.
