Ellen Thorbecke – From Peking to Paris
'Ellen Thorbecke ? From Peking to Paris' tells the impressive life story of Ellen Thorbecke (1902?1973), a photographer who holds a special place in the history of international photography. In this richly illustrated book, her oeuvre is presented through the cities and regions where she lived and worked: Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Paris, and the Middle East. Thorbecke left for China in 1931, where she purchased her first camera. Originally trained as a journalist, she developed into a discerning photographer with a distinctly engaged gaze. Her lively, often spontaneous street photography depicts daily life with great attention to human interaction and vitality. Her photographs were accompanied by personal observations and formed the basis for influential publications such as Peking Studies (1934) and People in China (1935). The book offers a rare and intimate snapshot of the 1930s and 1940s. Thorbecke's work is distinguished by her direct, human, and unbiased way of looking, making her images relevant even today. Her compact yet extraordinary archive, housed at the Nederlands Fotomuseum in 2008, consists of 638 black-and-white negatives, 166 of which were made in China. It is considered one of the gems of the museum collection. This publication appears on the occasion of the exhibition 'Ellen Thorbecke's China' at the Nederlands Fotomuseum and is the first monograph in an ongoing series about the museum's collection.kunst
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.kunst

Do It Ourselves
For English see below Nederlandse ontwerpers hebben de afgelopen jaren een scherpe koerswijziging doorgemaakt. De nieuwe lichting ontwerpers kiest nieuwe waarden en uitgangspunten en streeft door onderzoek en samenwerking naar maatschappelijke relevantie en impact. Deze 'post-crisisgeneratie' is bevlogen, optimistisch, maar ook pragmatisch met oog voor schoonheid. Humor en het concept als bijna obligate instrumenten zijn verruild voor engagement en vrij onderzoek. Ironie en beschouwende kritiek hebben plaatsgemaakt voor onbevangenheid en dadendrang. Ambacht en lokale productie worden onderzocht als een realistisch alternatief voor vastgelopen systemen. Naast kunst en design worden ook wetenschap, technologie, sociale studies en politiek gezien als speelvelden voor ontwerpers. Kortom, de nieuwste generatie ontwerpers zoekt naar een inhoudelijke verdieping van het vak en streeft naar een positieve bijdrage aan maatschappelijke vraagstukken. Designjournalist en?criticus Jeroen Junte beschrijft voor het eerst deze nieuwe fase in de ontwikkeling van het alom geprezen Dutch Design en voert de lezer langs 199 verrassende, innovatieve en verbazingwekkende projecten en producten. - English - In recent years, Dutch Design has sharply diverged from its previous course. A generation of designers trained in and shaped by the crisis years chose new values and starting points. The focus is now on inquisitive and collaborative makers who strive for social relevance and, if possible, impact. This 'post-crisis generation' is committed and optimistic, but also pragmatic and in possession of an eye for beauty. Humour and the almost inescapable concept have been exchanged for engagement and free research and irony and contemplative criticism for open-mindedness and the will to act. Craftsmanship and local production are examined as realistic alternatives to deadlocked systems of production and distribution. In addition to art and design, science, technology, social studies and politics are also seen as design arenas. In short, the latest generation of designers is looking to substantiate the content of the profession and make positive contributions to social issues. Well-known design writer Jeroen Junte is the first to describe this new stage in the development of the widely acclaimed Dutch Design, by way of 199 surprising, innovative, astonishing projects and products.
