Currents: Contemporary Art from the KMA Collection

Exhibition Notes

In the ongoing exhibition Currents, museum visitors are invited to trace the evolving character of our region’s art scene and engage with the global currents that shape contemporary artistic expression. Featuring a diverse array of work from the KMA’s collection, the exhibition mirrors contemporary art’s seemingly countless threads of development.

The exhibition reflects the aspirations of contemporary artists to transcend traditional boundaries and create pieces inspired by their unique experiences within today’s ever-evolving social, political, and cultural landscapes. Through the exploration of unconventional techniques and materials, some artists boldly push the limits of innovation, while others draw upon historical imagery and art traditions, reimagining them in unexpected ways to spark fresh interpretations and intercultural dialogue. Currents is a dynamic, rotating exhibition that illustrates the museum’s commitment to showcasing its growing contemporary collection.
