Sweeter than Honey
Group show with Younes Baba-Ali
The Written Art Collection is unique in its profile. For the first time, the Modern Art Collection (Sammlung Moderne Kunst) in the Pinakothek der Moderne is dedicating a major special exhibition focussing on its holdings of works of scriptural and text-based art. Around 60 artistic positions invite visitors to engage with a 1,200-square-meter exhibition parcours that reveals a panorama of written art and encourages reflection on the reciprocal relationship between text and image. The selection presents writing as both an artistic medium and material from the mid-20th century to the present day. ‘Sweeter than Honey. A Panorama of Written Art’ highlights a dynamic socio-political dialogue between artists from a pancultural, global perspective.
Sweeter than Honey. A Panorama of Written Art’ is the most comprehensive presentation of works in the Written Art Collection held to date and, as such, marks the culmination of a long-term cooperation with the Modern Art Collection in the Pinakothek der Moderne.
