Generali Foundation marks it’s 25th anniversary with an exhibition on view: January 18–April 21, 2013, by three international curators—Guillaume Désanges, Helmut Draxler, and Gertrud Sandqvist, each organize a show using a unique presentation format to shed light from individual angles on the Generali Foundation’s collection, its institutional and exhibition policies, and hence its contribution to historiography on the basis of institutional work.
Additional discussions and lectures taking place throughout this anniversary year will take their cue from the curators’ different personal approaches, the questions they raise concerning the definition of what is called Concept (or Conceptual) art and what it means to collect and curate it, and their reflections on the relationship between Conceptual and historical display strategies and the artworks themselves. The first show is by French curator and critic Guillaume Désanges. – http://foundation.generali.at
