“something that flees the hands” at Museum Kurhaus Kleve

Museum Kurhaus Kleve (MKK) and Residence NRW+ present the exhibition "something that flees the hands," featuring works by seven international artists in dialogue with the museum's current collection display. The exhibition engages with MKK's existing presentation and mediation conventions, making them a subject of the show itself.

This exhibition matters because it reflects a growing curatorial trend of museums critically examining their own display practices and institutional frameworks. By integrating contemporary artworks with historical collections, MKK creates a layered conversation about how art is presented and interpreted, offering visitors a self-reflexive museum experience.
