The MAC at the MMFA

1+1=1

When Collections Collide:
The MAC and the MMFA

February 22 - June 15, 2014


The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts (MMFA) is presenting a new exhibition in partnership with the Montreal Museum of Contemporary Art, or in French Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal (MAC). This exhibition features a convergence of the permanent contemporary art collections of the two institutions, hence the title 1+1=1.

As the celebration of MAC's 50th anniversary, this exhibition has as a goal to embody a genuine dialogue between these two Montreal's art institutions.

Above is the sculpture by Guiseppe Penone I have been a Tree in the Hand with a detail on the right.. 

Below is the work by Nicolas Baier Planet with a detail of two people on the Planet's beach on the right.

The following is the famous sculpture by Louise Bourgeois entitled The Red Room - Child, together with the detail of its interior. I already wrote about this work in the past in this blog. Click here to read that article.

Below are two additional works featured at this exhibition. On the left is Betty Goodwin's Pieces of Time V and on the right is the work by Pierre Dorion, called Untitled.

The following is Ai Weiwei's work Seven Frames.
