Be[com]ing Dutch
January 2007 marks the start of our major two-year project Be[com]ing Dutch. Be[com]ing Dutch will ask what happens when national identities are put at risk and transformed through cultural difference. Becoming, as opposed to being, is about a fluid process of negotiating with everyday life and learning from the constant changes in our surroundings. It's usually hard but also more rewarding than fixing ourselves in one inherited culture.
Through artists developing new works, discussions with thinkers and activists and engagement with different local communities, Be[com]ing Dutch will try to unmake fixed national stereotypes and offer mobile alternatives that are created right here, right now in the city of Eindhoven. It invites you to join in, to ask yourself questions and to use the Van Abbemuseum as a place to find new possibilities for living and thinking.
Alongside, this major commitment, the Van Abbemuseum continues its playful re-imagination of our collection through the Plug In series and the development of the Living Archive. The temporary project 'Groot Hertogdom Brabant' explores new artistic initiatives in the old region that once inspired our loyalty, while Allan Kaprow follows on from Lee Lozano as a serious historical overview of a major artist from the 1960s.
