Apocalypse

VR RECONSTRUCTION AND NEW DESIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE
In 2023 the Stedelijk presented five decades of artistry by multi-talented Felix de Rooy (Curaçao, 1952) with film, theater and visual arts in countless forms from paintings to assemblages and from (digital) collages to wall hangings. Far ahead of his time, De Rooy investigated topics that are still relevant today, including the impact of the colonial past, everyday racism and the meaning of Afro-Caribbean and queer identities in art.

New VR design: a composite version of the Apocalypse in the Stedelijk Museum 2023 and the publication EGO DOCUMENTA, both designed by René Wissink (Atelier Argos).


 

 

'STATE OF THE ART' 2025

SYMPOSIUM AND EXHIBITION 'STATE OF THE ART' 2025
On the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the Allard Pierson Theater Collection a Symposium is organized on Thursday 27 and Friday 28 February 2025. Contemporary scenographers are invited to present their vision of 21st century theatre.

IMMERSIVE STORIES
Contemporary artists who reflect on the work, ideas and visions of 96 Avant Garde Artists from the 1920s. Their visions and new visual language may be shown in the VR reconstructed XRMuseum. A story that spans a hundred years of theater history, starting with the Avant Garde of 1922, then jumping to the present and then on to the year 2025 and 'onwards'.

IT IS THE SCENOGRAPHY -THE VISUAL LANGUAGE- THAT IS AT THE CORE OF THIS NARRATIVE
Between storyboard and result, the immersive technology and the perhaps unwanted interference of AI show us how visual language has changed in form and use. The contemporary image makers, chosen for their multidisciplinary work, quality and visions, tell the story with their own images in the 2025 exhibition.
