Museum of Classical Archaeology, MOCA Camridge, summer 2022
‘The idea of contemporary artists drawing attention to the ancient sculptures, as highly
interesting objects in their own right and to the layered history of cultural values they
represent, is to actualize the heritage of ancient art. A heritage that characterizes and
influences our culture to a degree, in terms and in ways we are not always aware of. The
concept of Guirlanden´s exhibition according to these ideas integrates contemporary works
of art in the classic collection of ancient art. Each contemporary art work referring to a
specific object or some objects in the collection.’

by placing objects together, comparing objects, grouping and merging
things - physically and photographically
