This week on the show we look at Dutch art in New York. Find out more on the RNW site
So much art from such a small country! says the curator of the New York Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). In the past year, the leading New York museum has set up several exhibitions of Dutch artists.
A few rooms in the immensely big Museum of Modern Art have been dedicated to the exhibition ‘In & Out of Amsterdam: Travels in Conceptual Art, 1960-1976′. A work by Jan Dibbets hangs near the entrance.
MoMA’s Swiss curator Christophe Cherix, who put together the exhibition, explains: “This work consists of 80 photographs, all together in just a single frame. Each photograph was taken from the same spot in his home, looking in the direction of the garden. The idea, the concept behind this work is to document an entire day by taking a photograph every eight minutes.”
