| The Stedelijk Museum announces program of international artists in its historic building
29.06.10 While work continues on the renovation and expansion of the Stedelijk Museum, the museum is poised to host a unique and compelling program of exhibitions, education programs and special events called The Temporary Stedelijk at the Stedelijk Museum. Conceived by Stedelijk Museum director Ann Goldstein, this special interim program is inspired by the singular opportunity to utilize the unfinished historic building in this period prior to the museum’s grand reopening. |

| Monumentalism: History and National Identity in Contemporary Art
29.06.10 Another highlight of The Temporary Stedelijk is the exhibition Monumentalism—History and National Identity in Contemporary Art: Proposal for Municipal Art Acquisitions 2010, which will occupy one half of the ground floor galleries. The 2010 presentation of this highly anticipated annual exhibition of works by artists living and/or working in the Netherlands will address the concepts of history and national identity. The exceptionally large number of diverse submissions this year—359 in all—demonstrates the particular significance and relevance of the theme. Organized by the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the exhibition is curated by Jelle Bouwhuis, head of Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam, and features the work of 19 artists selected by this year’s Municipal Art Acquisitions jury. |
