Hans Haacke, An Artist Selects Objects From the V and A Collections.
Give & Take is an innovative partnership between the
Serpentine, the acclaimed public gallery for modern and
contemporary art, and the Victoria and Albert Museum, one
of the world's greatest fine and decorative arts museums.
Presented concurrently at both institutions, this exhibition
provides a unique opportunity to experience unexpected
connections between contemporary art and art of the past.
At the Serpentine Gallery, the renowned German conceptual
artist, Hans Haacke, will create a work which will fill the
entire Gallery using objects selected solely from the V&A's
collections. At the V&A, an international group of
contemporary artists will present their work in galleries
throughout the museum. This will be the first time many of
these works will be seen in the UK.
Offered unparalleled access to its collections during the past
year, Hans Haacke has been studying objects and artefacts
from the V&A, as well as the history of the museum, with the
intention of re-presenting a selection of these objects at the
Serpentine Gallery. As the 'social secretary' who puts
together a guest list and a seating order it is my job to see
that the arrangement of unexpected encounters bears fruit.
Hans Haacke, 2000.
