- Cooperation Máxima Medical Centre and the Van Abbemuseum 21/02/2013 - 21/02/2018 In 2011, Máxima Medical Centre and the Van Abbemuseum signed an agreement to integrate art into everyday life in the hospital in different ways. The hospital and the museum are building a long term relationship in which art is central to the communication with patients and visitors. Both institutions believe that art contributes to a pleasant environment for patients, visitors and hospital staff. Art can play an important role to make people think, to make them wonder or just to bring distraction and bring other thoughts to their minds. This has positive effects on the healing of patients. Besides the realisation of artworks in and for the hospital, there is also a joint mediation programme designed to provide visitors and patients more information and to stimulate interaction with the art works.

- Jewyo Rhii Walls to Talk to 26/01/2013 - 05/05/2013 Jewyo Rhii's practice shows an apparently unending struggle simply to cope with the world. She is an artist who has developed a unique body of work that stems from her sensitive, personal and almost subliminal responses to her immediate environments. Born in Korea, she has displaced herself many times in the last 10 years including periods in Western Europe and the USA. These conditions of constant movement, which are shared by many artists and others of her generation, form one of the bases of her work.
- LL.M. E.L.L. de Wilde’s Wishlist Director 1946 - 1963 25/01/2013 - ongoing De Wilde’s 1949 schedule looks like a wish list, but was used as a tool to reveal the developments in modern art and in this way initiate the town council into the first starting points of his future collection. This schedule was accompanied by a now famous speech which he gave to the town council on 23 February 1949. The speech had a political aim: to convince them that the museum’s new position required a new policy and financial contributions. In the next speech in 1951 De Wilde went further and argued for the internationalisation of the collection for choosing expressionism as a specialist area. In this speech he also demonstrated this with the use of a schedule.

- Collecting and presenting born-digital art A matter of translation and (historical) knowledge 14/12/2012 - 15/12/2012 A two-day working conference organized by Baltan Laboratories in collaboration with the Van Abbemuseum.“Why is it still easier to get an entire museum collection on the Internet than to get a single work of Internet-based art in a museum space?” This question was posed during a book launch of the Viennese curator’s collective Context in August 2011. It very clearly points to one of the sore spots in the discussion of why there is so little digital art in museums collections. Although it is common to use digital technologies for information exchange both inside the museum and outside, through distributing content through their websites and social media platforms, the presentation and presence of digital art in museum collections is still rare.
- Open call: Projects for the Museum of Arte Útil 05/12/2012 - 15/02/2013 The Museum of Arte Útil is a collaboration between the artist Tania Bruguera, the Queens Museum of Art, New York and the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven. The Museum of Arte Útil is the result of Tania Bruguera's decade of research into a concept that emphasizes effectiveness and implementation over representation, looking at historical and contemporary examples of alternative strands in socially informed art practice. With the open call, we are inviting the public to submit information on past or ongoing projects that align the criteria of Arte Útil (see below). The selected projects will be listed on www.arteutil.net, to be launched in February and will be considered for inclusion in the artist association, the exhibition at the Queens Museum, the Van Abbemuseum, and/or the publication. The deadline for project submissions is February 15th, 2013.
- Lissitzky - Kabakov Utopia and Reality 01/12/2012 - 28/04/2013 The Van Abbemuseum asked the artists Ilya (1933) and Emilia (1945) Kabakov to organise an exhibition of their work together with that of El Lissitzky (1890-1941), as guest curators. For the 'Lissitzky – Kabakov' exhibition they made an extensive selection from their own work and that of Lissitzky. It is the first time that the oeuvres of these famous 20th-century Russian artists are being presented together. Bringing together Lissitzky and the Kabakovs completes the circle which started with the revolutions in the early years of the twentieth century and finished with the upheavals of 1989. The confrontation between early Soviet art and that of the later Soviet era presents opportunities for a better understanding of the art and culture of the intervening period.
