We have the pleasure of inviting you to the opening of Michel Majerus. SINNMASCHINE.
Over the span of a short yet exceptionally prolific career, Michel Majerus (b. 1967, Esch- sur-Alzette – d. 2002, Niederanven) captured the spirit of his time – decades marked by the expansion of globalised consumer culture and digital technology. His painting-installations typically examined the growing role of the digital, allowing visitors to walk through and experience emerging visual cultures in an immersive way.
His work was shown in solo exhibitions at KW Institute for Contemporary Art; Kunstverein in Hamburg; and Neuer Berliner Kunstverein; among thirteen other museums featuring works from their collections, as part of the Germany-wide exhibition series Michel Majerus 2022. A publication based on last autumn’s symposium at Mudam, what looks good today may not look good tomorrow: The Legacy of Michel Majerus will complete this expanded view and will be published in conjunction with the exhibition. The publication will be the first in a series of studies co-published by Mudam and Sternberg Press.
