Monumentalisme
"Monumentalism: History and national identity in contemporary art" (Proposals for municipal art acquisitions 2010) exhibition is to be staged at the temporarily opened Stedelijk Museum on the Paulus Potterstraat in Amsterdam, which is undergoing renovation. For this edition of the annual Municipal Art Acquisitions the museum invited artists to submit work that reflects upon the notion of national history and identity, makes complex interrelationships manifest, creates connections with other histories and looks at historical canons in distinctive and original ways. Exhibition: Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (28.08.2010-January 2011).
How Far, how Near
HOW FAR HOW NEAR – the world in the Stedelijk argues for a greater emphasis on art from regions outside Europe and North America, with the collection of the Stedelijk as its starting point. 0Prompted by a number of recent acquisitions of work by African artists, including Dorothy Amenuke, Meschac Gaba, Abdoulaye Konaté, and Billie Zangewa, the exhibition centers around the key question of how museum collections and exhibition policies historically and today are limited and challenged in relation to geographical emphasis.00Since World War Two, the Stedelijk has developed a distinguished reputation as a museum for international contemporary art. However, artistic developments emerging in large parts of the world were largely ignored. How Far How Near explores the backgrounds and reasons underlying this paradox.00Exhibition: Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (19.09.2014-01.02.2015).
Roma Pas_.
Tracing what seems to be a timeline of our varied modes of communication, artist Roma Pas works in a variety of media, ranging from clay to computer software, mixing traditional materials with contemporary electronic and digital culture and breaking down new forms of media to show their underlying components. Her work illustrates how electronic representations of reality at times tend to replace the real ones, forcing metaphorical connections between them and yet also yearning for the actual. This book focuses on recent work by Pas, elucidated by numerous images, plus critical essays by Susan Cross, Douglas Heingartner and Jelle Bouwhuis.
Zachary Formwalt
In three recent video installations, Zachary Formwalt focuses on the architecture of OMA s new Shenzhen Stock Exchange and the Amsterdam stock and commodities exchange by H.P. Berlage. Although our economy is dictated by financial transactions, the activity of trading itself has become increasingly remote, without actual human encounter. The architecture of the two buildings serves as a starting point for a investigation into the limitations of photography to represent global capital and into the interrelationships between financial capitalism and image-making.0.
Barbarism Revisited

New Spaces for Negotiating Art (and) Histories in Africa
In the 1990s, a new wave of globalization changed the field of cultural production in many African countries and paved the way for major new cultural events. In particular, during the last two decades, an ever growing series of art and cultural centers were and still are being established - often against the background of broader national (art) histories and the historic prominence of the state as the primary patron of the arts. In considering the historical genealogy of these 'new spaces, ' this book examines: the infrastructures and public spaces they create, the theoretical discourses they tap into and explore, the aesthetic and (cultural) political debates they stir, the role they play in the field of cultural institutions and cultural activism, and their relations with state and municipal institutions.
