In het holst van de nacht van 9 op 10 juni is de gerestaureerde Gouden Koets in een houten kist over het dak van het Amsterdam Museum heen getakeld. Een bijzonder en spectaculair moment dat midden in de nacht plaatsvond omdat de tramlijnen moesten worden stilgelegd voor deze grote operatie. Alles is goed verlopen en de Gouden Koets is gisternacht…
Swart Gat/ Golden Age (Dunguu olo - katibo-ten) is a theatrical installation about Amsterdam's slavery past and Maroon culture from Suriname. The concept is by Tolin Erwin Alexander, Berith Danse and designer Bartel Meyburg. The theatrical installation, which has lost none of its urgency, has been further finished and will start again in summer 2021! From 17 June (19 June...
The exhibition The Golden Coach opens at the Amsterdam Museum on Friday 18 June. After a restoration of more than five years, the Golden Coach is back on public display for the first time. The carriage will be on loan to the Amsterdam Museum until February 2022. With this, the carriage temporarily returns to the city that used it in...
Strictly speaking, prioritisation is another word for wielding a saw line, but it feels different. 'Prioritisation within the applicable criteria', as stated on the site, smacks of possible arbitrariness, as nowhere is it indicated which criteria were weighted how heavily.
Een groepstentoonstelling bedacht door Anna Dasović en samengesteld door Natasha Marie Llorens. Tentoonstellingsontwerp door Arna Mačkić en Studio L A.
The coronavirus outbreak has a major impact on artists, creators and organisations in the cultural and creative field. The cabinet has therefore taken several measures, which institutions and creators in the sector can make use of. These include cabinet-wide generic measures, specific measures for the sector and an additional package of €300 million. Minister van Engelshoven: 'Despite the...
Vroeger vond men het drie keer niks, tegenwoordig zijn de schilderijen van waterlelies en blauweregens de beroemdste doeken van de Franse schilder Claude Monet. We bezochten zijn tuinen in Giverny en keken even door de ogen van de meester. Mokken en sokken Denk je aan de schilder Claude Monet, dan gaan de eerste gedachten waarschijnlijk uit naar diens kleurrijke doeken…
Is the prevailing flu wave raising the feverish temperature of contemporary art? From today, 8 February, you can come and take the temperature of the current state of contemporary art in person at a positively moody Art Rotterdam. From 8 to 11 February 2018 at the Van Nelle Fabriek in Rotterdam. It is a broad-based art fair where...
Every city in the Netherlands has artists who enjoy local fame and glory but just beyond the city limits produce only questioning looks. Take the Goeting family of painters from The Hague. They are Jan Goeting (1918-1984), his wife Catharina (1912-1987) and son Joep (1946-1986). The nice thing about this family is: every Hagenaar or Hagenees over 55 knows many works by at least Jan...
In the Style Year, events mainly look back at the art movement that began 100 years ago. Yet there are also contemporary initiatives that look ahead, such as in Amersfoort. In the Keistad, the Style Pavilion is being built from scaffolding material. Twenty contemporary, mostly young, visual artists will give their own interpretation to the outside of the pavilion. They draw inspiration from the building...
Displaced paintings by Armando. Artists fleeing the city. A tinpot that brought financial disaster and summer festivals that attract tens of thousands of visitors every year. And you thought Amersfoort was boring? A footnote along the A1 motorway? Forget it. Let me tell you about this city struggling with its cultural identity. A story in eighteen impressions. Guilty landscape In his youth...
Op de verjaardag van Piet Mondriaan, 7 maart, bood de gemeente Den Haag haar inwoners een kolossale gedecoreerde taart aan. Het past in een zeer actieve campagne rondom 100 jaar De Stijl. Terwijl het Gemeentemuseum dit jaar drie inhoudelijke Stijl-tentoonstellingen presenteert, gaat Den Haag helemaal los met Stijl-imitaties en beplakte winkelruiten. Een tegenstelling? Minder dan het lijkt, want deze citydressing…
Something with straight lines and planes and primary colours. We all get that far with De Stijl. But did you know that there was also Style music and that a mechanical figure danced to that, er, Style? Let's get things straight before the Mondrian to Dutch Design exhibition season begins. 1. Mondrian was not the big man of De Stijl Piet...
Gerard de Kleijn vertrekt op 1 februari na zes jaar directeur te zijn geweest bij Museum Gouda. De flamboyante, welbespraakte en erudiete directeur laat een financieel en artistiek gezond Museum achter voor zijn opvolger Marc de Beyer. De Kleijn maakte het museum meer toegankelijk voor Gouwenaars en kunstliefhebbers van buiten de historische stad. Het museum trok in 2016 ongeveer 40.000…
That 10 million is officially in. The art world is doing its best to sound grateful. The employers in the performing arts, gathered in the NAPK, have sent Bussemaker a thank you. Because she is not cutting 300 million from culture, but only 290 million. The extra money raked together last year by various lobbyists and parties is now anchored in the...
Misschien waren de eerste woorden die de mens ooit uitsprak wel een gedicht. In ieder geval zal de mens eerst gezongen hebben, voor hij woorden gebruikte. Als we de destijds geuite oerklank om mee aan te geven dat die duif toch echt van jou is tenminste als zang kunnen omschrijven. Feit blijft, dat Poetry International het festival dat gisteren een prachtige openingsavond beleefde, gewijd is aan een de oudste kunstvormen ter wereld: de poëzie. Maar hoe spinglevend is die kunst wel niet?
Alle vier de avonden van Poetry worden live gestreamd via YouTube. Vanavond: de opening. Live vanuit de Rotterdamse Schouwburg.
Two major exhibitions honour the work of Constant Nieuwenhuys. Gemeentemuseum Den Haag shows his architectural utopia New Babylon, the Cobra Museum in Amstelveen outlines Constant's development from Cobra to this. We tour the Hague exhibition and explore the legacy of Constant's legendary project. Including some 3d photos.
Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong time. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in the period when modern art was born? Then I correct myself: no, there were many problems and uncertainties back then too. But the new exhibition Colour Unleashed at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag makes me hesitate again. Because the exhibited...
On Tuesday afternoon, 25 August, Hans van Beers (Eindhoven, 1941) passed away. He was an important figure in our cultural life, his curriculum is seemingly endless. Among other things, he was alderman of culture in Den Bosch, co-founder of Pinkpop, chairman of the Mondriaan Fund, interim director of the Stedelijk Museum, director of the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra, the VPRO and the Amsterdam Conservatory of Music, board member...
The repair of cultural subsidies by more than 18 million, announced by culture minister Bussemaker on 8 June 2015, mainly concerns a perpetuation of earlier patchwork. That patchwork was necessary in recent years to smooth the crudest consequences of the cuts by her predecessor Halbe Zijlstra. That predecessor is now in the chamber as a coalition partner, to ensure...
With 'The oasis of Matisse', the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam has put on a magnificent exhibition. Sixty years after there was last a major retrospective of Matisse in the Netherlands, his work is back on display in all its glory. So alongside 'Late Rembrandt' at the Rijksmuseum, there is another blockbuster in the capital. The thousands of visitors who attended the...
In the halls of the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, Mark Rothko has made way for photographer Anton Corbijn. A bigger difference hardly seems conceivable, but an exhibition with lots of pop photographs fits seamlessly into the museum's mission to bring 20th-century avant-garde art, stresses director Benno Tempel. Corbijn, who celebrates his 60th birthday this year, will be honoured with a double exhibition; besides...
Homerus’ heldenepos Odyssee vertelt over de reis van Odysseus naar huis. Eeuwenlang heeft het verhaal over de wereld gezworven. Het waren telkens weer andere mensen die het hoorden of lazen. Het verhaal kreeg nieuwe kleuren, accenten, interpretaties, die Homerus niet had kunnen bedenken. En nu is er My Private Odyssey van Club Guy & Roni en tanzmainz. Deze dans- en…
Rechte lijnen, eenkleurige vlakken. Rood, geel, blauw en wit. De essentie van de werkelijkheid weergeven. Dat was het streven van de schilders van De Stijl in de eerste helft van de vorige eeuw. In dezelfde tijd had ook Hendrik Valk dit ideaal.
