Goshka Macuga examines archives and historical material. With When was Modernism? she reconstructs part of the art campus Kala Bhavan in Santiniketan on the basis of sculptures by students and Ramkinkar Baij. The sculptures will be displayed in combination with benches and other elements that stage the local area. This atmosphere of Kala Bhavan is brought into the museum.
