Marcel Broodthaers was a time traveler. According to him, the nineteenth century was more interesting than the twentieth.
Thus, in 1968 he opened his fictitious Museum of Modern Art, Department of Eagles, with a 19th-Century Section. How does the present relate to the past according to Broodthaers? In this lecture the audience will follow the complex temporalities in the artist’s work. Finally Michal Ron will unravel Broodthaers' anticipations of the future, as they are fulfilled in our twenty-first-century art world.
