On the Value of Time: New Presentation of the Collection of Contemporary Art

Every two years the Museum Ludwig presents a new selection of contemporary art from its collection. This edition will focus on different concepts of time and ways in which artists handle the topic in their work. Many artists draw attention to the fact that art is experienced in the present, while also questioning memory, remembrance, and historiography. The presentation is framed by “value of time” as a concept—a socially determined value on which abstract, quantifiable time is based.
