ETC*MA

The first ETC*MA exhibition in Amsterdam took over an entire 5-story grachtenpand on the Singel, the city’s central canal. In 2010, and within the 2-year gap which the Stedelijk Museum left behind in its absence, “The solution to nothing” was an artistic intervention on a city-wide scale, implicating itself in a topical conversation around the use of contemporary art while confronting head-on the notion of the museum as a monolithic, authority and historically bound institution.

A follow up project happened in the old GAK-gebouw in 2013, "The problem of everything." taking on a failed Modernist mega-complex as its context, and pointing at problems of artistic economy, architecture, urban planning, and more specifically how art is used and abused within political processes of renewal and gentrification.

In collaboration with artist Tore Wallert.
