Martin Kippenberger - MOMAS Project

Created in 1993 by the German artist Martin Kippenberger, the MOMAS (Museum of Modern Art Syros) is an artist museum open until 1996 and located on the island from Syros in the Cyclades. Housed in an unfinished building, Kippenberger invited his artist friends to make projects there and deposit works there. Cosima von Bonin, Hubert Kiecol, Stephen Prina, Christopher Wool (who directed signage), Lukas Baumewerd, Michel Majerus, Michael Krebber, Heimo Zobernig were among the artists invited to intervene in a place intended for a very small audience (about ten people at most). A true critique of the museum institution, MOMAS has been the subject of plans and of models that belong to the MAMCO collection. This book is the first study of all the archives and documents relating to MOMAS. The book also contains previously unpublished interviews with several of the artists. invited by Kippenberger to participate in his museum.
