Power & Other Things
The project takes its name from the demand for the transfer of power and other things to the newly independent Indonesia in 1945. It travels through time, from European colonial occupation through the development of the republican state to the trans-national contemporary cultures of today. It looks at the various international exchanges that happened in the territories of contemporary Indonesia, through the images and ideas of artists. These exchanges were of different kinds: trade, culture, religion, ideology and war. They produced a variety of results: violence, oppression, racism, creativity, spiritual awakening, and other things. The ideologies and challenges of modernity are common ways in which Indonesia has been depicted by others and has defined itself over the period. As this modern period recedes into history, the project will seek ways to remember how it has influenced contemporary understanding and ask the current generation of artists to look back in order to rewrite the past and potentially create the conditions for a different future. The catalogue and the exhibition will follow a broad chronological narrative, allowing readers and visitors to learn more about how this huge archipelago has changed over the past two centuries and to observe how it has responded and adapted to influences originating from both inside and outside the islands. The influence of the imperial Dutch and Japanese occupations naturally form a significant element in the narrative of the exhibition as does the constant struggle for different forms of independence or equal treatment by the Javanese and other Indonesian cultures. The importance of Chinese and Arab influence on Indonesia's cultural history will also feature as the exhibition tries to look for alternative ways, alongside the post-colonial, for understanding the present. The presentations will include work made during the residencies as well as new commissions.geschiedenis

Rembrandt’s Elephant
Elephants used to be a great rarity in Europe: there were only a few elephants in the continent in the entire seventeenth century. Hansken, a female elephant who was born on the island of Sri Lanka and arrived in Amsterdam in the summer of 1633, is the most famous ? and not just because Rembrandt drew her. Cornelis van Groenevelt, Hansken's owner, earned a handsome living by teaching her tricks and touring the continent with her. Wherever she went, Hansken evoked amazement and admiration. People examined her, measured her and wrote down what they had seen. Michiel Roscam Abbing tells Hansken's story based on a meticulous analysis of the sources. He has reconstructed the route Hansken took. The traces left by Hansken in European cultural history also form a potent picture of the age. After Hansken's death in 1655, her skeleton became the object of study, enabling myths about giants to be refuted. She was even used for the first scientific description of her species, Elephas maximus.kunst

Textile Tectonics
'Textile Tectonics' laat zien hoe natuurlijke, ornamentele en folkloristische patronen digitaal kunnen worden uitgewerkt tot adembenemende, programmeerbare en daadwerkelijk te bouwen structuren - van bladnerven tot gotische roosvensters, van schuimformaties tot traditionele haarvlechtstijlen en van Keltisch knoopwerk tot breipatronen. Internationaal vermaard architect en onderzoeker Lars Spuybroek doet onderzoek naar de relatie tussen kunst, architectuur en informatietechnologie. Nadat standaardisatie en massaproductie de twintigste eeuw hebben bepaald, bieden hedendaagse digitale technieken ongekende nieuwe mogelijkheden. Textile Tectonics brengt dit nieuwe terrein in kaart. Spuybroek biedt een theoretisch kader en een uitgebreide taxonomie van patronen en structuren, gevolgd door meer dan honderd rijk geïllustreerde pagina's met ontwerpen voor wolkenkrabbers en gevels gebaseerd op organiserende principes uiteenlopend van roosvensters tot breiwerk. - Textile Tectonics shows how natural, ornamental and folkloric patterns can be digitally elaborated into breathtaking, programmable and actually buildable structures - from leaf veins to Gothic rose windows, from foam formations to traditional hair braiding styles and from Celtic knotwork to knitting patterns. Internationally renowned architect and researcher Lars Spuybroek conducts research into the relationship between art, architecture and information technology. After standardization and mass production defined the twentieth century, today's digital techniques offer unprecedented new possibilities. Textile Tectonics is mapping out this new terrain. Spuybroek offers a theoretical framework and an extensive taxonomy of patterns and structures, followed by more than a hundred richly illustrated pages with designs for skyscrapers and facades based on organizing principles ranging from rose windows to knitting. -Engelstalig boekkunst
