Meschac Gaba’s “Museum of Contemporary African Art” (1997—2002) is an installation consisting of 12 rooms. KunstHalle presents seven of these rooms, which critically question the essence of the museum and the perception of African art. Gaba’s museum is temporary and transformable, more a conceptual than a physical space. A provocation of the Western art world, it not only demands more recognition for African contemporary art, but also raises the question of why these cultural distinctions exist. The exhibition marks the start of a collaborative effort between Deutsche Bank KunstHalle and Tate Modern. In coming years, three exhibitions will be presented in Berlin as part of this collaboration, showing artistic positions from Asia and Africa.
