#18 Kunstenaar op zaal

Wat krijg je als je drie kunstenaars uit hun atelier trekt en twee maanden lang wegzet in één van de meest bekende musea van Nederland? De kunstenaars Marcel van den Berg, Kevin Osepa en Mirre Yayla Séur gaan op uitnodiging van Buro Stedelijk het experiment aan en delen hun kwetsbare maakproces met het publiek.

Audiodocumentairemaker Geert Vlieger volgt het drietal in deze periode en ziet hoe zij de traditionele grenzen van tentoonstellen, interactie en museum praktijken uitdagen en herdefiniëren. Luister hier de afleveringen.

“Voor Manifestation #18: Kunstenaar op Zaal dook ik 2 maanden lang het museum in waar ik al zo veel malen ben geweest: het Stedelijk Museum van Amsterdam. Het museum leerde mij de basis van de moderne kunst en durfde die basis een paar jaar terug radicaal om te gooien met hun gewijzigde en veel meer inclusieve basiscollectie. In 2023 richtte het Stedelijk Museum daarnaast ook Buro Stedelijk in: een zaal midden en organisatie midden in het Stedelijk die staat voor vernieuwing. Onder leiding van curator Rita Rita Ouédraogo is het in korte tijd binnen Amsterdam een plek geworden waar mag worden geëxperimenteerd. En dat schuurt soms met de rest van het instituut waar alle werken zwaar worden beveiligd.”

Deze podcast is gemaakt door Geert Vlieger in opdracht van Buro Stedelijk.

Artist and architect Ola Hassanain intertwines family history with the materiality and temporality of water and clay. For this manifestation, Hassanain shares her ongoing visual research into the spatial implications of catastrophes. In this provocation the artist zooms in on an intimate ‘site of catastrophe’: her grandmother’s house.
