8.3. – 5.5.2024
Ferdinandeum, Innsbruck
Anna Scalfi Eghenter strips in Ferdinandeum the exhibition spaces of their scenographic veil and overturns the museum’s rules. Familiar rituals for staging the exhibits or preserving the past are disrupted. Scalfi Eghenter presents works that are hardly suitable for a museum setting. They are works for public spaces, like the washing machines in “Celata” or the huge columns in “Histogram”, which were on display at the Palais de la Bourse in Brussels. In the exhibition, the courts for “Tennnis” and “Agonale” overlap and invite visitors to play a new match. In the museum game, the history of the works is never finished. They are subjected to further development and rethinking in order to constantly rediscover their significance in the present.
