Knight Moves – Again / Teaser
The “Knight Moves – Again” project aimed at supplementing the scientific discourse of museum presentation by means of art. The interventions of the artists Nevin Aladağ, Kader Attia, Sunah Choi, and Mathilde ter Heijne showed in an exemplary way how subjective engagement with objects in the Ethnologisches Museum collection can be negotiated. The concrete relations into which their works entered with museum exhibits also extended how visitors view the collection and the institution as a whole – calling into question principles of ordering, invoking relations to the global present, and inspiring creative reflection on one’s own position in time and space.
