The Museum Schloss Moyland is a nationally and internationally significant museum with an extensive collection of art from the 19th to the 21st century. At its core is one of the world’s largest collections of works by the internationally acclaimed artist Joseph Beuys, who was born in Krefeld and grew up in nearby Kleve. This is complemented by numerous important positions in postmodern and contemporary art, including works by James Lee Byars, David Hockney, Katharina Sieverding, Charlotte Moorman, and Wolf Vostell. The collection was initiated by the art-enthusiast brothers Hans and Franz-Joseph van der Grinten and continues to grow. Through special exhibitions and collection presentations, the museum today aims to engage with contemporary social issues and explore current media and themes. Particular emphasis is placed on representing societal diversity, with a commitment to equal representation of female and male artists, as well as other possible forms of identity. The increased inclusion of digital media is a key part of this reorientation. Since 2022, the museum has placed a stronger focus on performative artistic approaches and on fostering dialogue between the historical positions in its collection and contemporary art. The museum and its exhibitions are housed in a historic neo-Gothic moated castle surrounded by a park that includes an exhibition hall and sculpture garden, located near the Dutch border. The museum also includes the Joseph Beuys Archive and a specialist art library. Through its research, exhibitions, and educational activities, Museum Schloss Moyland has established itself as center for art with regional, national, and international reach.
Marina Abramović Institute (MAI) presents and supports performance art at a global scale. Through an artist driven process, the Institute maintains both a multidisciplinary approach to performance and a focus on long durational work. Fostering an international network of performance artists and public participants, MAI is a part of the legacy of Marina Abramović. The Institute creates communal participatory projects that critically engage with time, place, and human experiences. MAI seeks to address the complexity of the present time in order to shift awareness and consciousness of human beings through performance. In 2023, MAI opened its space in Karyes, Greece, to support creative processes around performance art and generate collaborative thinking.
