Metamorphosis 50/1, the first exhibition of the anniversary year, represents both new beginnings and continuity – the gallery space is transformed, changed, and yet remains true to itself and its history as a place of encounter with contemporary art through the help of three artistic positions. As curators, Stefan Hausen and Markus Kersting have invited three artists who often focus on site-specific elements in their work.
With Baptiste Debombourg from Paris, a well-known figure in the Rhineland and beyond, returns. His space-filling, wave-shaped installation made of broken glass in the Abbey of Brauweiler is still well-remembered. Debombourg transforms both architectures and everyday materials. In the exhibition at Luisa Hausen, he presents, among other things, mirror objects that take on a mask-like quality and, almost like in a funhouse mirror, reflect the viewer in a surprising way. For the first time, the artist also shows a new series of hybrid drawings, where he works on architectural plans with graffiti – a precursor to later appropriation by the street?
Jan Ribbers, a master student in the architecture class of Inge Vinck at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf, also transforms spaces. He subtly alters perspectives, wraps architectural elements, changes their visual statics, and creates new sightlines and viewing experiences. A current example of this playful approach to the altered perception of architecture and its components was, among others, on display until the end of October in the exhibition « Verlaufen » at the Wachhaus at the entrance of the Raketenstation Hombroich.
Damir Radovic, also from Paris, is a painter, draftsman, and sculptor who plays with almost child-like ease with colors, symbols, and the perception of the present in his work. Drawing on his current museum exhibition at the Musée d’Art Contemporain Lyon, Radovic designs the front facade of the gallery with his signature statement ‘NO MORE’ and another meaningful word.
L’art joue un rôle essentiel dans la compréhension des changements politiques, sociaux et culturels d’une époque. C’est précisément ce que propose d’explorer la double exposition intitulée Histoires personnelles / Réalités politiques présentée au Musée d’art contemporain de Lyon du 19 septembre 2025 au 4 janvier 2026, puis au Musée d’art contemporain de Belgrade (MoCAB) en Serbie au printemps 2026.
Une étroite collaboration entre les équipes du MoCAB et celles du macLYON s’est développée depuis plusieurs années. Elle a permis de découvrir les collections respectives et a suscité la volonté de croiser des regards, des histoires et des œuvres. L’exposition offre à la fois un accès à la création contemporaine prolifique de l’ex-Yougoslavie, dont les œuvres restent encore très peu présentes dans les collections publiques françaises et une ouverture sur les scènes internationales de l’art contemporain, caractéristiques de la collection du macLYON.
Commissaires : Isabelle Bertolotti, Directrice du macLYON ; Maja Kolarić, Directrice du MoCAB ; Miroslav Karić, Commissaire au MoCAB ; Matthieu Lelièvre, Responsable de la collection du macLYON.
Artistes de la collection du MoCAB regroupe les artistes suivants : Marina Abramović, Milan Aleksić, l’Association Apsolutno, Mrdjan Bajić, Jasmina Cibic, Phil Collins, Vlasta Delimar, Biljana Đurđević, Erró, Igor Grubić, Siniša Ilić, Sanja Iveković, Ivana Ivković, Žolt Kovač, Sanja Latinović, Goranka Matić, Saša Marković Mikrob, Vladimir Miladinović, Slobodan Era Milivojević, Mladen Miljanović, Mihael Milunović, Nedeljko Neša Paripović, Vesna Pavlović, Dan Perjovschi, Tomislav Peternek, Dragan Petrović, Ivan Petrović, Aleksandar Rafajlović, Milica Ružičić, Saša Tkačenko, Zoran Todorović, Raša Todosijević, Milica Tomić, Anica Vučetić et Katarina Zdjelar.
