Quadrilogy concept

Since 2005 the works of the Burger Collection have been available for view online on the homepage www.burgercollection.org. As of 2009, the Burger Collection is realizing the multi-regional exhibition and research project called Quadrilogy under the curatorial leadership of Daniel Kurjaković. Overall, in the coming four to six years, temporary exhibitions based on the aesthetic key ideas of subjectivity, narration, history, and language, will be held in different locations around the world. This marks a new phase in the Burger Collection, to the extent that it turns to a broader public with a new curatorial concept of its own. The Quadrilogy manifests itself in different regions around the world, and in so doing places the works in specific geo-cultural zones—sometimes the works get re-introduced in their original cultural context of production. Research on-site, co-operations with educational institutions, exhibition sites, and additional local and international partners deepen the knowledge about the art works in the collection and illuminate some of the trans-cultural dimensions and intricacies of contemporary art.

The Burger Collection hopes to generate some new perspectives on both the existing and potential functions a private collection within the contemporary art system.
