Strap me down and call me a modernist!

The Moderna Exhibition 2006 is the perfect illustration of the reason I like museums better than art galleries. Since the need to sell the works is not priority no 1 the selection is much more relaxed.

This is especially true with the current staff at Moderna in Stockholm. It’s been a while since David Elliot left the scene, and many complaints have been made against the lack of new, edgy exhibitions. Well, strap me down and call me a modernist! I couldn’t agree less. Today Moderna is making art accessible, but if there’s one thing proven by the new exhibition it is that this development has nothing to do with avoiding the "difficult" and new stuff.
