Madhat Kakeis Abstrakta Kabinett (Madhat Kakei’s abstract cabinet) – Moderna museet

Daniel Birnbaum, the president of Moderna Museet, is the curator of the new show with Madhat Kakei. The painter was born in Iraq in 1954, but moved to Sweden in the 1980s. Lately, he has been showing worldwide. His paintings feature coloured layers of light and shadow, creating its own universe. Western concepts meet other more abstract traditions in the works presented in Moderna’s ”Moment” department.

Next to his work in ”Madhat Kakei’s abstract cabinet” Moderna Museet is showing work by a few seminal contemporary artists who have found other roads to abstraction: Etel Adnan, Joe Bradley, Günther Förg, Martin Kippenberger, Jutta Koether, Wolfgang Tillmans, Sophie Tottie, Rosemarie Trockel, and Fredrik Vaerslev.

On display until February 14
