Metaphorically, the concept of “no man’s land” allows us to explore the perception of this ominous and obtuse phrase.
- Play Van Abbe The museum in the 21st century 28/11/2009 - 26/06/2011 From 28 November 2009, Play Van Abbe is the Van Abbemuseum’s major project for 18 months. It is a multifaceted programme working with and around the collection of the Van Abbemuseum and will cover the majority of the exhibition space. Play Van Abbe consists of exhibitions, projects, performances, lectures, discussions, and new techniques for mediating the public’s reactions to art and its contexts. With the social and political changes of the last 20 years in mind, the museum uses Play Van Abbe to ask topical questions about the identity and objectives of museums and cultural heritage organisations more generally.
