Exhibition Tour with Casper Mueller Kneer
Modern Couples: Art, Intimacy and the Avant-garde
Get an insight of our major autumn show Modern Couples through the eyes of the architects who built the exhibition.
Exhibition architects Marianne Mueller and Olaf Kneer give a tour through the spaces of the gallery they designed for Modern Couples.
Conceived as a collection of distinct spaces, the design of the exhibition draws from the diversity of approaches taken by the couples represented in the show and their respective living, working and creative environments. Formal yet intimate, these spaces provide a framework to view the work and actively engage with the stories and moods of their authors.
This tour is part of a series, Couples on Couples, inviting the creative couples of today into our exhibition space.
Your ticket includes same day entry to the exhibition.
