About

The ti­tle We Call It Lud­wig was pur­pose­ly kept open-end­ed, since the ex­hi­bi­tion is not in­tend­ed to of­fer a con­crete def­i­ni­tion, but a va­ri­e­ty of sub­jec­tive per­spec­tives that to­gether form a kalei­do­s­cop­ic im­age of the in­sti­tu­tion. The Mu­se­um Lud­wig defines it­self in large part based on its own his­to­ry, its col­lec­tion, and, above all, the peo­ple who have shaped it – as an artists’ mu­se­um. We Call It Lud­wig ac­counts for this si­t­u­a­tion by re­flect­ing along with th­ese par­ti­ci­pants in the art sys­tem on what the mu­se­um has been, is, and can be.
