Its great when activated

Zusatztext

How can a contemporary art museum founded in 1951 become relevant today? How can it be a place that uses art to question the circumstances of our present, set people in motion, shift perspectives, challenge the status quo, and reframe questions? Since 2022, the Museum Morsbroich in Leverkusen has been addressing this challenge in an open transformation process with the help of artists Margit Czenki & Christoph Schäfer (parklabyr), Schirin Kretschmann, Harald F. Müller, Gabriela Oberkofler, Antje Schiffers, Tilo Schulz, and Andrea Wolfensberger. This multiyear process aims to bring art, society, and the city closer together; connect the places specific history with the present; and activate the Morsbroich ensembles various parts and functions as a total work of art through greater participation. The projects, realizations, and designs of the Morsbroich Workshop presented in this publication offer a fresh perspective on Morsbroich. They are not utopias or dreams, but rather, sketches of a possible tomorrow.
