Terminal Piece

mumok / museum moderner kunst stiftung ludwig wien

Terminal Piece is an exhibition in five acts, anchored by a single artwork: the installation Terminal Piece (1972) by artist, activist, and author Kate Millett. The exhibition invites visitors to explore embodied attention and discover new ways of seeing: Encountering art is never passive. To look is to participate.
It begins with a prologue conceived by Anna Viebrock, transforming the ground floor to propose a new way of encountering the museum collection. In Act 1, Millett’s Terminal Piece stages the tensions of looking. Act 2 turns inward to trace the friction between political ideals and lived experience. Act 3 looks to documentary and witnessing to approach realities that may exceed language. Act 4 explores the apparatus of seeing through the work of Nina Porter and the collection. Together, the acts suggest multiple ways of engaging with the world.
