A Collection, a Canon, and a Society in Transformation. How can the outward architectural makeover of a museum be projected onto its inner life and programming? What is the role of a museum in civil society today? These were the questions that drove the exhibition project Upheaval, in which the incoming director, Johan Holten, turns the spotlight on the institution's collection, the reflection on the canon, and the active involvement of its visitors. Staging a dialogue between positions of 1920s and 1930s modernism and contemporary works, some of them created specifically for the exhibition, Upheaval inquires into how to reorient the museum's activities. Sculptures and installations by the artists Kaari Upson, Hu Xiaoyuan, and Nevin Aladağ encounter paintings by Hanna Nagel, Jeanne Mammen, Anita Rée, and others, while a third section of the show features video pieces by Clément Cogitore and Masar Sohail.
