Mori Finds Director

Umělec 2001/2

01.02.2001

Vladan Šír | news | en cs

The Japanese construction tycoon, Minoru Mori, cut a deal in May with Moderna Museet director David Elliot, who will become the head of the planned Mori Art Museum at the Mori Art Center in Tokyo. In six years Elliot was able to turn the Stockholm-based museum of modern art into one of Europe’s most respected institutions. (During his tenure, incidentally, the museum organized a major exhibition of Eas-tern European art, After the Wall, in which a number of young Czech artists participated.)
Minoru Mori intends to create a lar-ge complex of office and residential buildings, with a theater, a seat for Asahi TV and several hotels, in Rop-pongi, a central neighborhood of Tokyo. The Mori Art Center of which the Mori Art Muse-um is a part will occupy the top five floors of a 54-floor office high-rise in Roppongi Hills, as the complex is called. The total area of the museum exceeds 6,000 square meters. The top floors will house galleries boasting views over the city while lower floors will feature shops and conference halls.
The new office space will represent a step up for Elliot, as the Center will be the first Japanese institution of the size of MoMA in New York, or the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. Moreover, the museum is a private entity and Elliot will be fully responsible for the exhibition program, including any accompanying events, and for the development of the art collection.
The Museum will focus on modern and contemporary art, architecture and design. Elliot is set to cooperate closely with MoMA, and indeed, the opening exhibition will present art from the second half of the 20th century with reference to a similar exhibition recently on display at MoMA. Aside from the exhibitions, there are plans for the Mori Art Center to organize an international biennial of contemporary art, as well as residencies for artists and projects for public space.
The Museum’s operations will be supervised by an international committee of advisors, including Glenn Lowry of MoMA, Wenzel Jacob, director of the Kunst- und Ausstel-lungs-halle in Bonn, Alfred Pacquement, director of the national museum of modern art in the Cen-tre Georges Pompidou, Norman Rosethal of the Royal Academy of Arts in London, Peter-Klaus Schus-ter of Staatliche Museen zu Berlin and Nicholas Serote, director of the Tate Museum in London.
David Elliot’s successor will be appointed by the Swedish government. The Mori Art Center will open at the beginning of 2003.

“A person must shake someone’s hand three times while gazing intently into their eyes. That’s the key to memorizing their name with certainty. It is in this way that I’ve remembered the names of 5,000 people who have been to the Horse Hospital,” Jim Hollands told me. Hollands is an experimental filmmaker, musician and curator. In his childhood, he suffered through tough social situations and…

We’re constantly hearing that someone would like to do some joint project, organize something together, some event, but… damn, how to put it... we really like what you’re doing but it might piss someone off back home. Sure, it’s true that every now and then someone gets kicked out of this institution or that institute for organizing something with Divus, but weren’t they actually terribly self…

"In Cameroon, rumours abound of zombie-labourers toiling on invisible plantations in an obscure night-time economy."
Magda Tóthová Magda Tóthová
Borrowing heavily from fairy tales, fables and science fiction, the art of Magda Tóthová revolves around modern utopias and social models and their failures. Her works address personal and social issues, both the private and the political. The stylistic device of personification is central to the social criticism emblematic of her work and to the negotiation of concepts used to construct norms.…

Who is S.d.Ch? A person of many interests, active in various fields—literature, theater—known for his comics and collages in the art field. A poet and playwright foremost. A loner by nature and determination, his work doesn’t meet the current trends. He always puts forth personal enunciation, although its inner structure can get very complicated. It’s pleasant that he is a normal person and a…

We are the fifth global party! Pítr Dragota and Viki Shock, Fragmenty geniality / Fragments of Charisma, May and June 1997. When Viki came to visit, it was only to show me some drawings and collages. It was only as an afterthought that he showed me the Czech samizdat publication from the late 1990s, THC Review. When he saw how it fascinated me, he panicked and insisted that THAT creation is…

Who’s Afraid of Motherhood?

Expanding the definition of “mother” is also a space for reducing pressure and for potential liberation.1 Carol Stabile The year was 2003, and in the deep forests of Lapák in the Kladno area, a woman in the later phase of pregnancy stopped along the path. As part of the “Artists in the Woods” exhibit, passers-by could catch a glimpse of her round belly, which she exposed especially for them in…
