  • Understanding Constant's New Babylon: a Place That Can Never
    Understanding Constant’s New Babylon: A Place That Can Never Be? Figure 1: Constant in his workplace at Wittenburg, Amsterdam, with several works from his New Babylon project, 1967. Image: Leonard Freed/Magnum/Hollandse Hoogte Jip Hinten Student Number: 10474617 Master Kunstgeschiedenis Supervisor: Dr. Marga van Mechelen Reader: Dr. Christa Maria Lerm Hayes Date submitted: 2 February 2017 Universiteit van Amsterdam Word Count: 22,308 Hinten 2 Summary The objective of this text is to add to and correct several understandings of the Dutch artist Constant Nieuwenhuy’s life project New Babylon on which he worked for almost two decades, from roughly 1957 until 1974. The main incentive for this research has been the finding that while the project New Babylon has been studied by many scholars during and long after Constant worked on it, this has not only lead to a thorough understanding of the project, but also to the exact opposite. As New Babylon is structured around several paradoxical ideas and concepts such as freedom and control, reality and fantasy, art and society, several generalizations have been made that represent the project in a far too simplistic way. Among these more general interpretations of New Babylon there seem to be two stances: New Babylon should be considered as reality, and, New Babylon should be considered as a fiction. While both these singular interpretations of the project are problematic in themselves, it is especially distressing that the first of the two stance seems to have been getting the upper hand. The goal of this text is thus to add to the collective effort of grasping the meaning, function, and usefulness of Constant’s New Babylon.

  • Contemporary Art
    CONTEMPORARY ART The Library of Coosje van Bruggen / Claes Oldenburg projected to be circa 2,500 volumes Partial catalogue June 8, 2018 The Library of Coosje van Bruggen and Claes Oldenburg A towering figure in postwar American art, whose influence, from the start of Pop Art to the present day, has been profound, and whose unmistakable style is instantly recognizable around the world, Claes Oldenburg needs no introduction. His wife and collaborator, the Dutch-American scholar and artist Coosje van Bruggen (1942-2009) had a distinguished career as both a critic and curator of contemporary art, and a widely admired sculptor. Working together over the course of three decades, Oldenburg and van Bruggen produced a series of monumental sculptures, which she termed "Large-Scale Projects," that are among the most iconic of recent years. Their library is a perfect reflection of their work and their interests, with extensive resources on the movements of modern and contemporary art, from Pop and Happenings, Fluxus, Arte Povera, Minimal Art, Conceptual Art, and Land Art, to the developments of the new millenium. In addition to its depth in reference books, the library includes rare historic exhibition catalogues and books of early Minimal and Conceptual art (the publications of Seth Siegelaub, and exceedingly scarce publications from Vancouver and Oberlin, as well as the landmark shows of the 1960s and 1970s), rare periodicals ("Interfunktionen"), and classic source works inscribed by the authors, together with a rich selection of valuable original artists' books, by Carl Andre, John Baldessari, Stanley Brouwn, Hanne Darboven, Peter Downsbrough, Jenny Holzer, Rebecca Horn, Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long, Gerhard Richter, Carolee Schneemann, Emmett Williams, and numerous others.

Nov. 2020 2020 In Search of Play Margaret Saunders1 1Yale University Abstract This thesis addresses the existence, inclusion, and access to play spaces in the built environment. It proposes that play is fundamental to the wellbeing of people of all ages, not only children, and analyzes how play spaces are or are not inclusive to people of all ages, then further addresses this in regard to gender, race, and socioeconomic class. This project presents the perspectives of social theorists such as Johan Huizinga, Guy Debord/ SI International, and Henri Lefebvre to analyze the role of space and social production of play. Additionally, it looks at historical case studies like New Babylon, Modellen & Aldo van Eyck’s playgrounds as examples of synergy between play & public/institutional design.

This PDF provides paragraph numbers as well as page On Gerard de Lairesse’s “Frenchness,” His Liège Roots, and His Artistic Integration in Amsterdam Eric Jan Sluijter This article demonstrates how Lairesse’s style, his knowledge of contemporary Italian art and ideas, and his understanding of the art of antiquity was fully developed by 1670 and had been shaped by the Romanist-classicist tradition in Liège and through confrontation with the art in Amsterdam, without any significant intervention of French painting and art theory. 1 In the second half of the nineteenth century a positive view of seventeenth-century Dutch art (realist, honest, the art of the common people) came to oppose a negative view of French art (idealized, academic, aristocratic) of the same period.1 Dutch painting of the later seventeenth century was therefore perceived as ruined by the French influence, and Gerard de Lairesse, who functioned within this framework as the epitome of “Frenchness,” became the scapegoat.

L 2 E 0 2 0 L SAMUELIS BAUMGARTE GALERIE Avantgardistische Tradition K A R A Das avantgardistische Berlin der 1920er-Jahre, von dem Karel Appel als P Junge geträumt hatte, gab es lange schon nicht mehr und in Amster- E dam zu bleiben, erschien dem aufstrebenden Maler wenig attraktiv. Die öffent lichen Reaktionen auf ein 1949 gerade fertig gestelltes und in P seiner Thematik1 in der malerischen Radikalität provozierendes Wandbild L in der Cafeteria des damaligen Amsterdamer Rathauses waren derma- ßen heftig ausgefallen, dass die Malerei noch im selben Jahr mit Tapete E überklebt wurde. Kurz drauf verließ Karel Appel die Stadt, in der er ge- boren und aufgewachsen war, in Richtung Paris, das zu dieser Zeit noch als Welthauptstadt der Kunst galt – freilich schon bald darauf von New L York abgelöst. Im Gespräch mit Rudi Fuchs erinnerte der Maler sich 1990 an diese Zeit in Paris. Das Leben dort war schwierig, aber es erschien ihm besser als in den Niederlanden: „Das einzige, was übrig blieb, war Paris. Das war eine intakte Stadt, nicht bombardiert, es waren Galerien da, darum wollte jeder nach Paris.“2 Schon seit 1947 reiste Appel wieder- holt dorthin, um andere Künstler zu treffen und sich an Ausstellungen zu beteiligen. Auch die Künstler der deutschen Avantgarde, wie Emil Schu- macher, der bereits 1930 als 18-jähriger mit dem Fahrrad dorthin gereist war, suchten in dieser Zeit künstlerischen Anschluss in der französischen Hauptstadt.
