The Museion venue welcomes the Righi Collection, one of the most significant private collections of contemporary art, which to date has only been exhibited at the Collection Lambert in Avignon, France. The arrival of the collection represents an important exhibition opportunity for Museion, thanks to a ten year deposit of works in the museum.
The presentation of a selection of works from the Righi Collection aims to elicit reflections on the encounter between the public dimension and the intimate sphere of a private collection. The artists present in both collections, including Roni Horn (NY, 1955), Jana Sterback (Prague, 1955), Robert Barry (NY, 1936), Alighiero Boetti (Turin 1940 – Rome 1994) and Miroslaw Balka (Warsaw, 1958) represent the numerous convergences of vision between the museum and the private collection.
Receiving a collection like this also means adding missing pieces to the museum's assets: Loris Gréaud's work with light (Eaubonne, 1979) ties in with Museion's existing nucleus of light works, while Omer Fast's (Jerusalem, 1972) video installation highlights the museum's growing video collection.
The various sections of the Righi collection exhibition provide an opportunity to explore its distinctive themes. There is a strong emotional tension, for example, between the socially and politically committed plastic installation by Deimantas Narkevičius (Utena, 1964) and the collages by Martha Rosler (NY, 1943) juxtaposed with Alighiero Boetti's war pictures.
The body is a forceful presence in the works of Berlinde De Bruyckere (Ghent, 1964) and Joan Jonas (NY, 1936), while the works of Ana Mendieta (Havana, 1948-1985) and Zoe Leonard (NY, 1961), express its destruction in the transience of life.
Gordon Matta-Clark (NY, 1943 – 1978) and Dan Graham (Urbana, 1942) challenge the functional nature of architecture, which is developed by the large installation by the English artist Mike Nelson (Loughborough, 1967).
The presence of Nedko Solakov (Cherven Briag, 1957) in the exhibition opens up another facet of the collection: humour. Humour animates the room of his drawings from the last documenta in Kassel and graces Museion in a specially created project.

Le 24 mars 1976, le peuple argentin subit un coup d’état militaire. C’est le début d’une ère de répression sanglante, où quelque 30 000 personnes disparaissent et près de 500 bébés sont volés. Mais s’ouvre également une période d’ultralibéralisme d&ea...

Du dépouillement des clichés de Catherine Lambermont se dégage une poésie narrative. Ses images composent une suite d’instants d’observation libre. Son travail réhabilite le continuum qui caractérise chaque frontière. La frontière est le lieu du lien. Entre le corps et l’es...

Simone Nieweg is a photographer of gardens and landscapes. Her work, as it has manifested itself over the past thirty years, knows no other interest. At the same time, a certain serenity hovers over her pictures. In them, nature seems entirely focused on itself. One immediately notices that human beings are absent. The allure of colors and shapes...
« Je ne peux m’empêcher, atteste Gérard Uféras, d’associer la pratique de l’Art à la notion d’amour et de partage ». (extrait de son livre Etats de grâce, éditions du Fantom)
«Egyptian pack» evokes many associations - here are both Petersburgers favorite topic of werewolves (see the movie of E. Yufit «Corpsmen werewolves») and references to the Perm animal style.
Also we can recall British film «The Wicker Man» (1973) with its ritual procession of the man-beasts, ho...
