"The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch and do nothing." – Albert Einstein

World conflict / Individualistic indifference / Institutionalised racism / Social determinism / Inequality of Opportunity / Ever-threatened civil rights

How is art created in a world puzzled by deep division? Is history repeating itself, the future already old? And can the vision of Youth set us free?


These are the bold questions tackled by ROBIN KID (a.k.a THE KID) in the works exhibited – part of his series The Future Is Old (2019) and It’s All Your Fault (2021). Sparked by the fear of growing divisions in our world and the hope that past shall not become prologue, these works interrogate structures of power, privilege and democracy.

The Future is Old

The young provocative Artist attacks the ’status-quo’ through his paintings, sculptures and immersive installations. By taking the “Zeitgeist” of today and breaking it apart into defragmented paintings and sculptures, the Artist aims to capture the revulsion and need for change felt by his young generation.

These exhibited works might be more relevant than ever, especially in our challenging times, as they question History repeating itself, and the position Youth will take now and in the near future, inspired by the words of Coretta Scott King: “Freedom is never really won … you win it in every generation!”

About contemporary artist ROBIN KID (a.k.a THE KID)

Equally loved by collectors and visitors of major institutions around the world, from Le Grand Palais in Paris to the Twenty-first Century Museum in Chicago, ROBIN KID (a.k.a THE KID) is a citizen of the world and a truly impactful presence on the evolving contemporary art scene. Born in 1991 and hailing from Dutch descent, ROBIN KID (a.k.a THE KID) is an autodidact, multi-disciplinary neo-Pop contemporary artist.

His work hijacks a variety of social, political and traditional imagery of the past and present, pulling intuitively from the world of advertising, the internet, television and childhood memories. The result? Thought provoking visual narratives which question our polarised world of the 21st century and the thin frontier between innocence and corruption confronting today’s Youth.

Not all artworks are always on display.

Our collection exhibits artwork on loan and from the Moco Collection. We keep our exhibitions ever-evolving, so every visit is a fresh experience. Occasionally, this means some artworks online are not always on view in the museum. We appreciate your understanding.
