Conceptual Art 1965-1975 from Dutch and Belgian collections: Stedelijk Museum. (Amsterdam).
Reconstructing the history of Conceptual art in the Netherlands and
Belgium from the mid-'60s to the '70s requires
documenting--and unraveling--a wide-ranging network of artists, dealers,
curators, and collectors. "It was an extremely inspiring
time," Wim Beeren, curator of the groundbreaking 1969 exhibition
"Op Losse Schroeuen" has said, "because there really was
talk of a revolution." "Conceptual Art 1965-1975"
addresses the intersections and the particular direction this work took
in the two countries, including art by Bas Jan Ader, Marcel Broodthaers,
Stanley Brouwn, Jan Dibbets, and Ger van Elk among an international
cast. Apr. 20--June 23.
