A CAGE WITH A VIEW Sophia Rohwetter on “Terminal Piece” at mumok, Vienna
The first exhibition at mumok under the leadership of Fatima Hellweg, “Terminal Piece,” centers on the eponymous installation by artist, activist, and author Kate Millett, a work that raises questions about the representation and perception of violence. Based on these guiding questions, over 400 commissioned works, loans, and pieces from the museum’s own collection are dramatically staged. Their presentation employs the logic of the theater and what was elsewhere called “mood” – with reference to Tolia Astakhishvili’s concurrent exhibition at mumok. Drawing on Millett’s work, Sophia Rohwetter considers the symbolic and real cage as both an auditorium and a stage for imposed and internalized confines.
