Below the thread of tweets and Instagram posts we published during our trip, now archived on Wakelet:
Below some more photos that didn't make it to our live reporting posts:
View of De Appel's group show "When Elephants Come Marching In", through which guest curator Mark Kremer investigates "the ongoing influence that Psychedelia and Conceptualism still have in contemporary Western art".
We also visited the solo show of Dutch conceptual artist Marinus Boezem at Upstream Gallery. The show focused
on "the significance of the artist’s physical presence and absence for
the concept of his artworks" and included jewels like this 1969 "Piss
Project" piece, which was too difficult to capture as it's a sequence of
photographs, hence the photo taken from the catalogue available at the
gallery.
On our last few hours, we paid a visit to Jeanine Hofland which had a group show with works by Andrea Kvas, Mohamed Namou, Alek O., Gino Saccone, Yonatan Vinitsky and Jessica Warboys revolving around the idea of painting without paintings.
And to end our Amsterdam Art Week, we went back to the Stedelijk Museum to see Marlene Dumas's retrospective properly as well as the exhibition 'How Far How Near. The World at the Stedeljk' curated by SMBA's Director Jelle Bouwhuis, which included a great film work by Godfried Donkor 'The Currency of Ntoma' on the symbolism and the financial value that textiles (Dutch Wax, batik, kente cloth and lace) have for women in Ghana.
