Grid Corrections
For English please see below Het Public Land Survey System, ofwel het Jefferson Grid, is het systeem waarmee landmeters eind achttiende eeuw het midden en Westen van de Verenigde Staten in keurige vierkanten verdeelden van exact één bij één mijl. Maar omdat de aarde rond is, liepen de lijnen naar het noorden taps toe. Daarom moest het raster gecorrigeerd worden: grid corrections brachten om de 20 mijl theorie en praktijk weer bij elkaar. Toen vlieger- en luchtfotograaf Gerco de Ruijter tijdens een residentie in Wichita (Kansas) in 2016 over deze kaarsrechte stofwegen reed, kwam hij ze tegen: kleine knikjes en T-kruisingen in het verder volkomen geometrische wegennet. Doordat de verspringingen in het raster steeds variëren, ontstaat een veelvormige en dynamische reeks van beelden die vervreemdt en verwondert. De Ruijter speurde met behulp van Google Earth duizenden van deze correcties op: ondergesneeuwd of uitgedroogd, in steden en woestijnen, door alle seizoenen heen. 'Grid Correct' toont een selectie van ruim 250 van deze grid corrections, gekozen en vormgegeven door Gerco de Ruijter en grafisch vormgever Irma Boom. Begeleid door een tekst van schrijver Peter Delpeut vormt dit bijzonder vormgegeven boek een kunstwerk en monument ineen, getuigenis van de menselijke drang om het landschap in te richten en de vele manieren waarop de natuur daarop reageert. -- The Public Land Survey System or Jefferson Grid is the system with which surveyors divided the middle and west of the United States into neat squares of exactly one by one mile in the late eighteenth century. But because the earth is round, the lines tapered to the north. Therefore the grid had to be corrected: every 20 miles, grid corrections brought theory and practice back together. When pilot and aerial photographer Gerco de Ruijter drove along these dead straight dust roads during a residency in Wichita (Kansas) in 2016, he came across them: small bends and T-junctions in an otherwise completely geometric road network. The grid corrections are all different and therefore create a multiform and dynamic series of images that alienates and amazes. With the help of Google Earth, De Ruijter looked up thousands of these corrections: snowed under or dried up, in cities and in deserts, throughout the seasons. 'Grid Correct' presents a selection of over 150 grid corrections, selected and designed by Gerco de Ruijter and graphic designer Irma Boom. Accompanied by a text by writer Peter Delpeut, this exceptionally designed book is a work of art and monument in one, a testimony to the human urge to design the landscape and the many ways in which nature responds to that urge.

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

Architectuur en herinnering / Architecture and Remembrance
For Dutch see below - English - 2020 is the 75th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. In Architecture and Memory, architect Jacques Prins focuses on commemorative sites. He brings together 40 of these sites, from across Europe and from the post-war period, and documents them in texts, drawings and photographs. His aim is to convey the feeling of oppression and detachment to the visitor, without creating a reconstruction, to really allow them to identify with the past. For easy comparison, Architecture and Memory includes several drawings of each site: of the situation they were in during the Second World War and of the situation they are in today. Together these create an image of the design strategies that different designers have employed over the course of time. Professor dr. Rob van der Laarse is Professor Heritage of the War at CLUE (Cultural Landscape and Urban Environment), the interdisciplinary research institute for heritage and history at the VU. Jacques Prins is architect and partner at Inbo and responsible for the new building of Nationaal Monument Kamp Amersfoort. Max Meijer is heritage advisor at TiMe Amsterdam. - Dutch - In het jaar waarin we 75 jaar bevrijding herdenken staat architect Jacques Prins ook stil bij plaatsen van herinnering. In dit boek brengt hij 40 van deze plekken, verspreid over Europa en uit de naoorlogse periode samen, gedocumenteerd in tekst, tekeningen en foto's. Bij al deze plekken is het doel steeds zonder te reconstrueren toch het gevoel van beklemming en onthechting op de bezoeker over te brengen, zodat deze zich goed met het verleden kan identificeren. Architectuur en herinnering toont van elke plek tekeningen van de situatie tijdens de tweede wereldoorlog en nu, zodat die goed met elkaar vergeleken kunnen worden. Op die manier ontstaat een beeld van de ontwerpstrategie die de verschillende ontwerpers in de loop van de tijd hebben ingezet. Professor dr. Rob van der Laarse is hoogleraar Erfgoed van de oorlog bij CLUE, (Cultural Landscape and Urban Environment), het interdisciplinaire onderzoeksinstituut voor erfgoed en geschiedenis van de VU. Jacques Prins is architect en partner bij Inbo en verantwoordleijk voor de nieuwbouw van herinneringscentrum voor het Nationaal Monument Kamp Amersfoort. Max Meijer is erfgoedadiseur bij TiMe Amsterdam.kunst
