Jardin des possibles

Jardin des possibles

What if a sculpture is not only an object to look at, but something expansive, conditioned by your gaze, your thoughts, your questions?  What if the museum invites you to explore it in the same way you would explore a garden?  Not a garden made of plants and paths, but one made of forms, meanings, and encounters.

Jardin des possibles. temporarily transforms one of Mudam’s galleries – the Jardin des Sculptures – into a space for possibilities and slowed-down, mindful action, rhythm and thought. This shift proposes a space that, like a garden, combines the visible and the invisible, the tamed and the wild, and that is ultimately shaped by its visitors. 

As a possible way to start, we invite you to move around the sculptures slowly, taking your time and letting your mind wander. How might this affect your perception of the artworks around you? What do they convey to you? Where do artworks begin and end? What might you notice if you stayed and observed a little longer?

The gallery is designed to welcome you in a way that resists the accelerated rhythm of our lives. Alongside sculptures by Bert Theis, Jason Dodge, Heimo Zobernig, Pascale Marthine Tayou, Su-Mei Tse, Monika Sosnowska and David Zink Yi, there are sitting areas and reading corners available for you to relax or create something unexpected. The sculptures composing this garden are part of the Mudam Collection; some play with notions of balance, emptiness and fragility, while others engage with language, memory and the surrounding architecture. Brought together in this space, they remind us that sculpture can be many things at once.

Jardin des possibles. is a place for contemplation and interactions. It aims to favour conversations, moments of reflection, and different ways of viewing and experiencing art.
