UKS presents a first and fractioned display of oddities from its almost 100-year history. The patchwork presentation, covering early avant-garde “golden palette” awards to bleak 1980s budget cuts, inaugurates UKS’ new archive space, designed by Studio Manuel Raeder. The display is on view every Saturday and Sunday, or by appointment, until 16 December 2018.
