Strijd ∞ - a Performative Exhibition
Journal Title: Sztuka i Dokumentacja - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 16
Abstract
Strijd ∞ - a Performative Exhibition Contemporary art can intervene directly at crucial times of protest or historical change. The ways in which it accomplishes this are as diverse as the contexts to which it responds. We would here like to point to just one project, Strijd ∞, an exhibition inaugurated in March 2015 in Amsterdam, which has been shown further afield, morphed into various formats and which experimental exhibition project Strijd ∞ to support and complement the visual culture of protest at the Maagdenhuis (seat of the Board of the University of Amsterdam). The building was appropriated by staff and students in response to severe cuts to the Humanities budget, the eviction of students from a previously occupied building and, generally, the more and more managerialised and financialised university – in Amsterdam and elsewhere. The protest was covered in the press internationally and protesters at other universities referenced Amsterdam and linked with the main student and staff initiatives, de Nieuwe Universiteit (DNU) and ReThink UvA respectively. As an art-historical initiative, Strijd ∞ is rooted in Warburgian thinking, combined with contemporary solidarity.
