Spirits of Internationalism
21 January - 29 April
The exhibition Spirits of Internationalism, simoultaneaously on view in the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven and M HKA in Antwerp, gives you an unique opportunity to see art works from six European collections. This exhibition shows art from six European collections: four museums and two artists’ archives. It presents art made between 1956 and 1986, a period marked by fast economic and technological development, but also by international political tension.
Spirits of Internationalism is the last part of a series of exhibitions developed within the framework of the European collaborative project L’Internationale (M HKA Antwerp, MACBA Barcelona, Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven, Moderna Galerija Ljubljana, Július Koller Society Bratislava and KwieKulik Archive Warsaw).

Hollands Kabinet (Dutch Cabinet) - Sara van der Heide
From 21 January 2012 onwards, the Van Abbemuseum will show the serial work Hollands Kabinet (2010-201?), an ‘ongoing project’ by Dutch artist Sara van der Heide. Van der Heide started her series of cabinets on 14 October 2010, the day of the installation of the government of Prime Minister Mark Rutte, a combination of VVD, CDA supported by the populist right-wing Freedom Party (PVV). Everyday, she makes a drawing of another ‘Hollands Kabinet’. Hollands Kabinet is a colloquial term for the Dutch government, but also the name for a traditional Dutch storage cabinet. According to the artist, this wooden cabinet symbolizes the multiform nature and diversity of the Dutch history. The number will continue to grow each day the government of Prime Minister Rutte is in charge. The work will be on view in the Van Abbemuseum until 29 April 2012.

Dick Verdult - and on Sundays we celebrate Friday
Until 26 February
And on Sundays we celebrate Friday invites visotors to the special world of the Eindhoven artist Dick Verdult. As a visual artist and musician in the experimental Cumbia music, he has acquired a cult status, especially in South America, Russia and Japan. The Van Abbemuseum is (re-)introducing you to his rich and multidisciplinary oeuvre.
The exhibition is part of the exhibition programme VANUIT HIER – OUT OF HERE which started in 2011, that takes the city of Eindhoven and the Van Abbemuseum as a source of artistic inspiration.
Rot - Roth - Ròt
The library exhibition Rot - Roth - Ròt shows a selection of the 25-piece ensemble that Dieter Roth published between 1969 and 1986 at the publisher Hansjörg Mayer as Gesammelte Werke. From his work as a book artist in the exhibitions are also some connections made with his oeuvre.
Lissitzky+
Until 20 May 2012
The Van Abbemuseum hosts one of the world’s biggest and most important collections of work by the Russian artist El Lissitzky (1890-1941). His work, his ideas and his artistic objectives correspond closely with the museum’s own engagement with experimentation, radical creativity and public participation.
The Lissitzky+ project is will shed new light on Lissitzky’s oeuvre. An entire floor of the museum’s new building will be rearranged for the presentations.
