Wolfgang Tillmans is one of the leading artists of his generation and is constantly in the public eye, with exhibitions all over the world. The exhibition at Moderna Museet is Tillmans’ first major show in Sweden and brings nearly twenty years of picture-making to a new audience. Moderna Museet is delighted to welcome Wolfgang Tillmans – an artist who has extended the boundaries of photography and redefined the medium of photography as an artform.
Wolfgang Tillmans moves freely between images of the club scene in Berlin, political manifestations, and skyscrapers in Hong Kong; all with the same direct tonality. At the same time, all of his pictures explore photography itself – as a medium, but also as a material, convention and process.
— Jo Widoff, curator.
As an extension of the major Wolfgang Tillmans exhibition, Moderna Museet is showing the installation Science Fiction/Hier und Jetzt zufrieden from 2001 by Isa Genzken in collaboration with Wolfgang Tillmans.
