MK becomes director of the Ascona Museum of Modern Art. Part of his mission requires the supervision of the creation of a new museum structure within a planned music and art Center - the project is never realized. During his brief tenure in Ascona MK manages to mount two major exhibitions: "Photo Swiss", a survey of contemporary Swiss photography; and "Chere Louise", an homage to Louise Bourgeois with contributions by eighty female artists dedicating works to their heroine on the occasion of her 95th birthday. When the planning for another Louise Bourgeois exhibition - a show of her hitherto neglected narrative works with the title "Storytelling" - is already well underway to coincide with her Tate retrospective, the project falls victim to petty political intrigue and is cancelled. MK immediately hands in his resignation.
