U januaru 2011. godine u Tasmaniji, nadomak glavnog grada Hobarta, otvoriće se Mona, Muzej stare i nove umetnosti. Čudnjikavi bogataš Dejvid Volš odgovoran je za koncept čudnjikavog muzeja, čiju je izgradnju na svom posedu finansirao. I kolekcija umetničkih dela koja će biti izložena je ... čudnjikava.
Antimuzej (anti)umetnosti, ali sačinjen od pro-novca. Koga nanese put u Tasmaniju, neka svrati, pa da nam priča.
Citat:Imagine a museum that overturns virtually every accepted notion of institutional practice: an underground museum with no natural light, with a deliberately confusing design so visitors get lost as they wander through its halls, and a museum which, in places, is incredibly noisy and very, very smelly.
This is the vision of David Walsh, mathematician, professional gambler, vineyard and brewery owner, who describes his Museum of Old and New Art (Mona) currently nearing completion outside the Tasmanian capital Hobart, as both an “unmuseum” and a “subversive Disneyland”.
Mona has been under construction for the past three-and-a-half years and, if all goes according to plan, it will open to the public in January free of charge. We recently visited Walsh and were given a rare interview as well as a first look at his new building and the art he has collected to go inside it.
