"The exhibition’s title sounds like a catchy argument in current discussions on cultural appropriation, offering hybridity as a guiding principle. But the group show at mumok is more than just another reflection on collective authorship or the migration of forms. The participating artists were invited to enter into dialogue with works of their choosing from the museum’s collection and recontextualize or even appropriate them. One can feel the curators’ ambition to open mumok up to postcolonial histories and queer perspectives, albeit in a way that does not challenge an institution’s identity significantly. That said, several of the exhibition’s seven participants address topics that have long been on the Western museum agenda and have slowly been seeping into these institutions’ practices."
