PUBLIC PROGRAM

February 27, 2019. 4 pm – 5 pm

Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam

Gallery talk

In this Gallery Talk, part of our public program, Lieke Hettinga offers a tour through Stedelijk BASE, the permanent exhibition of the museum. What role plays art in addressing issues of “in/equality” and “difference”? Driven by this question and informed by feminist and queer theory, Lieke Hettinga will share their gaze into a selection of artworks, with the aim to explore the politics of representation at stake, and reflect on the significance of feminism in art history.

Lieke Hettinga is a researcher, based at the Graduate Gender Program at Utrecht University as well as at the Gender Studies Department at the Central European University in Budapest. Their research is located at the intersection of queer theory, transgender studies, critical disability studies, and visual cultural studies and their PhD research is part of the GRACE: Gender and Cultures of Equality research project.

What is left unseen, Centraal Museum, Utrecht

Exhibition

In collaboration with Centraal Museum Utrecht, the research team of MOED has curated What is left unseen. The exhibition is the result of a critical intervention in the collection of the Centraal Museum, and takes objects from the collection as a starting point to present critical perspectives. The museum’s pieces of Nola Hatterman, Steve McQueen, Ary Scheffer, Thérèse Schwartze and Nicolaas Beets are exhibited along with a number of pieces by Patricia Kaersenhout, Iris Kensmil, Rotimi Fani-Kayode, Jan van Bijlert, Faisal Abdu’allah and Samuel Aranda. Our intervention in the museum raises as key questions: How does one critically engage with dominant accounts of history? How to envisage new ways of seeing and visualizing in the museum? How can we expose the white male gaze that, for centuries, has determined what and how we see in the museum?
