“[From foreword] Inheritance and transformation is the overall title for inaugural exhibitions and projects at the Irish Museum of Modern Art. It signals a series of diverse programmes and programming attitudes, at once reflecting the potential of the Royal Hospital building, its architectural and historical meanings and a wider agenda where cultural and social systems and identities are being questioned. When culture has replaced nature as subject a new museum cannot ignore the reservoir of meaning which nourishes artist and non-artist alike. In Ireland, at the end of the twentieth century the Museum of Modern Art must acquit its public responsibilities by making a conscious contribution to the process of transformation of our social and cultural inheritance which is already under way…” (Declan McGonagle May 1991).
