You’d like to support the Museum Kunst der Westküste (MKdW), but still don’t really know exactly how? In addition to supporting the museum’s work in general, you can also dedicate your assistance to a selection of specific projects each year.

What about contributing to one of what are currently our three most important projects?

 

CLASSIC! DYNAMIC! YOUNG!

 

 

CLASSIC!   Moments of clarity. Janus La Cour and the new image of nature

 

The CLASSIC! engagement section is linked to the desire to gain many supporters for the important exhibition Moments of clarity. Janus La Cour and the new image of nature (17 November 2024 - 22 June 2025). The show, curated by the renowned art historian and bestselling author Florian Illies, will rediscover the work of the painter Janus La Cour (1837-1909), who was born on the west coast of Denmark, with landscapes that unfold an almost meditative expressiveness. La Cour's often serial monuments to stillness continue to fascinate today. His works also fascinate contemporary artists: the painters Per Kirkeby and Sven Drühl, who were or are themselves La Cour collectors, deal directly or indirectly with the older artist's art in their work. Their works enter into an exciting dialogue.  
The exhibition and catalogue are being produced in cooperation with Nivaagaards Malerisamling in Nivå, Denmark. 


 

 

 

DYNAMIC!   A photography by Anja Jensen

 

The DYNAMIC! category of contributions stems from a wish to strengthen the exquisite collections at MKdW and their entirely unique profile, also within the area of contemporary art. Currently, we seek your help to acquire the photography Mann am Meer (2010, Fotografie, C-Print, 100 x 187,5 cm) by the German photographer Anja Jensen for our collections. The photography was created during Jensen's residency at MKdW on Föhr.

 

 

 

YOUNG!   Artist-in-Residence-Programme 2024

 

The YOUNG! category of contributions focuses on the wish to provide assistance to our artist-in-residence programme. Each year, we make it possible to fund the costs of the invited artists’ travel, their materials and their stay. When this extends beyond a residency on Föhr and we carry out an exhibition with the artist in residence and produce a catalogue, this requires additional financial assistance.
