- Acts of Non-Aggression Plug In #46 20/09/2008 - 15/11/2009 During the preparations for the Be(com)ing Dutch exhibition at the Van Abbemuseum in 2007, Canadian art historian and art theorist Shepherd Steiner held a workshop. Steiner is famed for his ‘close reading’, a method of reading an artwork by taking the object itself as starting point and guiding principle, and carrying out a meticulous visual analysis. Impressed by the results of this study method, the Van Abbemuseum invited him to make a presentation. Never having curated an exhibition before, Steiner was very interested in this experiment. ‘Plug In #46 Acts of Non-Aggression’ is the result.

As Germans, they have to deal with a particularly destructive history, but their way of incorporating the past into their view of the present can be read more generally.

- All is Well - the artwork 21/02/2013 - 21/02/2018 A hospital is a waiting place. We wait, don't we, for an explanation, a treatment or a medical solution. We arrive filled with uncertainty, with anxiety and above all with the understandable fear of losing control. Yet we must remain patient and await our turn. The waiting period offers diversions such as zapping through TV talk-shows, leafing through drab magazines, or spying upon other patients in an attempt to guess the purpose of their visit – and so avoid thinking of our own. Hospitals are seen as veritable part-replacement facilities, where, with all this emphasis on the machine, there seems to be a clear dividing line between body and soul – the mere thought of which threatens us and fills us with dread.
- Allan Kaprow Art as life 10/02/2007 - 22/04/2007 The Van Abbemuseum, in association with Haus der Kunst in Munich, is organising the first major solo display in Europe of American artist Allan Kaprow’s work, which will trace his artistic output over the past 50 years. Kaprow, father of the ‘happening’ and the most famous unknown artist died in April 2006. We are extremely grateful for the fact that the artist was still able to work intensively on the preparations for this exhibition.
