Summary:

How does a private art collection become public? Who was Hans HeinrichThyssen-Bornemisza? These seemingly easy (and not so easy) questions are at the heart of Walid Raad?s new project ?Cotton Under My Feet,? conceived for the Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, coinciding with the centennial of its original founder. Deep in the museum?s bowels, Raad has unearthed fragments of stories, fictional documents, and puzzling0artifacts. Walid Raad offers a vertiginous reflection on the potential legacy of the Thyssen-Bornemisza collections and their relation to the history of Western and non-Western art.00Text: Eva Ebersberger, Guillermo Solana, Francesca Thyssen-Bornemisza, Jalal Toufic, Daniela Zyman.00Exhibition: Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza, Madrid, Spain (06.10.2021 - 23.01.2022).
