Matts Leiderstam at Salon of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Belgrade 16.5-16.6.2008
Matts Leiderstam opens a new solo exhibition at the Salon of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Belgrade. For the exhibition Leiderstam has conceptualized new work titled Museum (Inside/Outside) which investigates "hidden activities" in the park surrounding the Museum of Contemporary Art.
For Leiderstam, landscape, historical painting and the museum are redolent with meaning and pose important questions about ways of seeing, history and memory. Through his works Leiderstam aim to point out that what we see and who we are, on a cultural level, is a construction based on agreements between us, that the context isn't given, and has to be negotiated between us constantly.
