Photography TINA BARNEY

How he created, through his photographs, the sense of perdition that we experienced during the Pandemic.

Drowning.
The Boat House.
The drive-in.

These photographs are about a situation we have been put in that is beyond our wildest imaginations. The confinement, separation from loved ones, the unknown, has created a sense of timelessness and displacement. Fortunately, it has also forced us to rethink every inch that we’ve taken for granted and made us value the substance of our lives like never before.

TALK

CAMILLE COTTIN

2024.02.19

Her smile came on set even before she did, and everyone instantly loved her. Camille is dragging energy, powerful and unfiltered, almost child-like. The roles she chooses to play are often characterized by duality. She portrays responsible women, who face crises and sorrows with determination, but with a touch of irony and a light soul.

CARSTEN HÖLLER

Ever Höller, Höller Ever

2024.02.19

Carsten Höller allowed space for creativity by being portrayed in Stockholm, within the spaces of his provocative restaurant Brutalisten, and recounting his enormous approach to the art of experimentation and his fantastic practice evolved over the course of the experience.

BARBARA KRUGER

A Visual Statement

2024.02.19

Barbara Kruger has developed an iconic visual language that often draws from advertising techniques and aesthetics, as well as other media. Since the 1970s, her artworks have continuously explored complex intersections of power, gender, class, consumerism, and capital. Her first solo institutional show in London is on view at the Serpentine; on this occasion, MUSE explores its intricate artistic mechanisms.
