\u2018Reflexion. Light Mirror Transparency\u2019 is a joint exhibition by the four museums in the Pinakothek der Moderne to mark 100 years of Die Neue Sammlung.<\/strong>

The second jointly curated exhibition by the four museums that come under the single roof of Munich\u2019s Pinakothek der Moderne focuses on the topic of reflection. The term \u2018reflection\u2019 is used here in both the literal and metaphorical senses, as an optical phenomenon, as a symbol of careful consideration, and as a means of artistic expression. While the first jubilee exhibition concentrated on the founding years of Die Neue Sammlung, namely the Modernism of the 1920s and 1930s, \u201cREFLECTION\u201d will have a broader reach in time and run through to the present day. Items from the fields of the fine arts, architecture, graphics, and design will be juxtaposed to one another in terms of the three overarching ideas of light, mirrors, and transparency. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n

Special exhibition architecture has been purpose-developed that subdivides each of the two galleries into a white and a black half. This sets the tone for light and shadow, day and night, visibility and invisibility \u2013 topics that recur in the works and objects on display.
The presentation will include not only the exhibition spaces on the ground floor and the second floor, but also \u201csatellites\u201d such as the glass piece at the entrance to the Pinakothek der Moderne or the window at the upper end of the large East staircase, which will be transformed into an artwork.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/content-reveal>\n\n\t\t
