My Last Will (A project by M+M)

In the exhibition and the eponymous artist’s book, My Last Will, 30 contemporary, international artists and artist groups respond to the question “What remains?”. They individually explore their legacy and try, each in their own way, to capture the core of what makes up their goals and interests with a central statement or a paradigmatic work. In doing so, they question their presumed significance for a future they will no longer experience and whose measures of value are still completely unknown to them.

“What remains?” is a question that gains a special topicality against the backdrop of the pandemic and a war in Europe, and the associated change in perspective and values.

The project was curated by the artist group M+M and was created in cooperation with Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz and Casino Luxembourg – Forum d'art contemporain.
