INVITATION TO ALL ART LOVERS: Saturday,
April 27th from 3pm to 7pm
Project MONA is about to reimagine the
contemporary museum for the 21st Century and we would like you to join us.
[At 4pm
there will be short talk about our vision followed by a listening session to
yours.]
Come and share your ideas for such a grand undertaking.
REFRESHMENTS will be served and a tour of our new
facility [now under construction] and feel free to explore our 60 acres of open
land, woods and river.
THE MUSEUM
IS THE MEDIUM
By pulling from
imagination, recollections, and real interventions, Project MONA claims new
boundaries for an artwork by forcing all boundaries to fall away. Political,
novelistic, psychological, personal, the museum ruptures conventional
notions of art and its presentation – to build its own space. The great
messer-upper of media categories, the project has formed its own medium; and by
its radical simplicity and deliberately open invention, it has been able to
touch on the most sensitive nerves of contemporary and cultural
history.
Project
MONA challenges the stereotype of, not only what a museum can be, but, the
power structure of art. By shouts, with whispers, luring into cul-de-sacs,
guiding out through halls of mirrors: the museum visitor is not merely
drawn into a visual relationship with a static object, but forced to become an
active participant. And is shown – how art can be honest, or, tell lies. And
that even within lies, there is truth.
