Dance, performance and collection management: a photo essay

Grace Schwindt’s solo exhibition ‘A History of Touch’ is on view at M until 16 November. It offers a striking example of how a contemporary artist can engage in dialogue with a museum collection. For this project, Schwindt retreated to M’s stores, where she explored the collection of late-medieval ‘Christ on the Cold Stone’ sculptures and watched how Benedicte Dierickx, the store manager, cares for them. This inspired her to create the sculptural work shown in the exhibition, as well as an exceptional performance that will be staged live at M several times during ‘Playground’.
