Part of Stroom School Display Show


For her thesis for her Master in Museum Curating the art historian Marian Cousijn did research into the influence of Marcel Duchamp on the balance of power between the artist and the curator. In the 20th century the focus within the artistic practice became more and more on selecting and presenting, in addition to creating. Very often the way art is displayed is crucial to what it means. From this point of view the artworks and strategies in Display Show will be placed in a historical perspective. Marian Cousijn works for museums like the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and writes for a.o. De Correspondent. Her essay De kunst van het tentoonstellen (The art of exhibiting), summarizing the most important conlusions of her thesis, can be read online: www.groene.nl
