Stedelijk Museum — Danh Vo: πνεῦμα (Ἔλισσα)
exhibition
“Ultimately, Vo’s remarkable talent lies in transforming historical and devotional artefacts into contemporary works… it offers a rare opportunity to reflect on personal beliefs alongside Vo’s. Yet there is also a caution: the art’s openness suggests multiple possibilities, some fraught with uncertainty or manipulation, for both viewer and artist alike.”
H’ART Museum — Jan Dibbets: Toward Another Photography
exhibition
"Once reality is put into question, it is not lost but unbolted in favour of possibility. Dibbets exposes how easily the camera’s authority collapses, treating perspective as a philosophical discipline and positioning instability as the condition through which new ways of seeing can emerge."
Foam — War Is Personal and Love Shit
exhibition
“By acknowledging the humanity within war, Kochetova redirects the gaze back to the people. She stands with her community and looks into the faces not of nations or armies, but of the individuals who chose to wage this war. She confronts the truth: war is personal; war is human… to keep calling war inhumane is to distance it from responsibility. Kochetova’s work refuses that distance.”
Framer Framed — Between Fires
exhibition
“The works in the exhibition make nuclear politics tangible through explicit, often literal imagery… By avoiding ambiguity, the works enable a focused, linear conversation about the subject itself rather than inviting broader or more abstract interpretations… the primary dialogue shifts from an intimate exchange between viewer and artwork to a collective conversation between artist and community about the issues, events, and ongoing fight.”
Royal Theatre Carré — A tribute to Hans van Manen
performance
“What binds these vastly different works into one is a shared Hans van Manen fervour for ballet; each step earns its place, and thus renders the fate of what follows. Through his view, we witness the sweat and pain that sustain ballet, but above all the ecstasy it produces. The limits are defined only as a reminder to be celebrated once surpassed. Hans van Manen reaches these limits and, with his singular knowledge, goes beyond them.”
