From De Stijl to Boekie Woekie. Artists' publications from the Netherlands
Centre for Artists' Publications, Museum Weserburg, Bremen, Germany
11.03.2023 - 04-02-2024
The exhibition covers more than one hundred years of art from the Netherlands. It starts with the De Stijl movement from the beginning of the twentieth century, along with the same-named periodical of Theo van Doesburg, which was dedicated to the renewal not only of art, but also of architecture, design, typography, and poetry. The concluding focus is on Boekie Woekie – bookstore for artists‘ books run by artists and publishers Jan Voss, Henriette van Egten and Rúna Thorkelsdóttir in Amsterdam – which can already be considered to be legendary. The majority of the exhibited works are part of the Brokken Zijp Foundation of Art (BFA). Thanks to the cooperation with the BFA, and in congenial addition to the holdings of the Centre for Artists’ Publications, lines of development can be presented on the basis of a selection of artists’ publications, some of which are rare.

UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN. Place-Making in Southeast Asia
Centre for Artists' Publications, Museum Weserburg, Bremen, Germany
09.09.2022 - 12.02.2023
UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN. Place-Making in Southeast Asia takes the act of writing as a starting point to reflect on a variety of recent art practices in and around Southeast Asia, focusing on the complexity of reading, performing, understanding, and translating these texts.
The exhibition was developed as a research process to identify, locate, collect, and discuss artists' books. On view is a wide selection of artists' books, as well as artists’ magazines, prints and graphic works, artists' postcards, multiples, radio art, records, and CDs. The Centre for Artists' Publications at the Weserburg Museum für modern Kunst is one of the few art venues in Europe with a collection of Southeast Asian contemporary art that is being reappraised and presented comprehensively for the first time in this exhibition.
