Ondertussen bij De Appel

HUMMING FORWARD while HUMMING BACK  with De Appel in Amsterdam Hum, hum. At De Appel we like to hum. That’s because we’re excited, excited about what’s yet to come. Humming stands for movement and for the connecting of one’s past to the irrefutable future. Humming happens from a position where everything is possible. It marks a special moment. A moment of transformation: becoming and change. Therefore humming implies thinking in motion by bodies in motion. It indicates an opportunity to think small. Or big. Or, as anthropologist Michael Taussig writes, it is “what can happen when something from the traumatic past is suddenly brought into the present such that another world seems possible,” and might go like this: Please join us. Please hum.  Hum, hum. / Niels Van Tomme, director•DE APPEL TIMELINE: 40+ YEARS OF RISKS 15 Nov — 11 Dec 2016 De Appel timeline: 40+ years of risks is an idiosyncratic and celebratory overview of the more than 2000 projects realised, initiated, hosted and programmed at De Appel.

From 1972 until 1975 it offered a platform for everything that was new at the time: performances, video art, visual poetry, audio art, conceptual art and artist books. In-Out Center inspired Wies Smals to establish De Appel. Tineke Reijnders and Corinne Groot will continue their extensive research of the history of In-Out Center at De Appel. In a lively exhibition- and research space they will present archival material and original artworks.  • MICHAEL GIBBS, LET IT KEEP SECRETS 4 Nov — 11 Dec 2016 In November, several presentations about artist Michael Gibbs (1949-2009) will be presented in various venues in Amsterdam and abroad. De Appel focuses on the artists' magazines Kontexts Magazin and Artzien, as well as a website featuring critical art on and about the Internet titled ‘Why Not Sneeze?’. These self-published magazines and virtual platform present a testament to Gibbs' love for language, literature and experimental art.  • + SPECIAL BOOKSALE WITH LOTS OF DISCOUNT!!!
