“Oskar Hansen’s Museum of Modern Art” is a study of multiple hypotheses surrounding the reading of art historical references and confronts the hypothetical program of the “lost museum” design by Polish architect Oskar Hansen in 1966. Yane Calovski and Hristina Ivanoska have activated Hansen’s “conditional perfect museum” as a socio-political display designed to frame and reflect the multiplicity of a city, both artistically and institutionally. This ahead-of-time proposal submitted by Hansen to an open call for a museum building in Skopje after the devastating earthquake in 1963, provoked the artists to think: What kind of curatorial strategies would have been enforced by the reality of a foldaway museum? This unrealized project, and the exhibition and lecture program that it might have housed, dedicated to Ad Reinhardt, Ana Mendieta, Paul Thek, Susan Sontag, Mladen Stilinović, Dushan Perchinkov, Andrzej Szewczyk, resonates through Ivanoska’s and Calovski’s œuvre, along with Hansen’s advocacy for open form as “a multifaceted theoretical system understanding art as a process involving active audience participation.” The project was initiated with curatorial input from Sebastian Cichocki, and the posters were designed in close collaboration with the graphic designer Ariane Spanier.
