mumok Annual Press Conference 2016 Statement by the Directors We have planned an ambitious program for the next few years, which combines Museum moderner Kunst Stiftung Ludwig Wien three strands: the presentation of our own collection, exhibitions of outstanding Museumsplatz 1, 1070 Wien international art, and the strengthening of the Austrian art and cultural scene. Our program includes both unique individual positions since modernism—as in our Annual Press Conference 2016 retrospective of the work of Július Koller in the coming year—and also complex January 20, 2016, 10 am thematic exhibitions that we see as our contribution to international discourse in art history–such as our group show Painting 2.0, and also the ongoing review of our Statement by Karola Kraus and own collection, as we open our museum up to new generations.
