- And on Sundays we celebrate Friday - solo presentation Dick Verdult part of VANUIT HIER - OUT OF HERE 03/09/2011 - 26/02/2012 And on Sundays we celebrate Friday is the first solo presentation of one of Eindhoven’s most singular artists, 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. He is less well known to the public in his home town. The Van Abbemuseum is (re-)introducing the audience to his rich and multidisciplinary oeuvre. And on Sundays we celebrate Friday is one of the three exhibitions which form part of VANUIT HIER - OUT OF HERE. In the context of the 75th anniversary of the Van Abbemuseum these three exhibitions focus on the direct and valuable relationship between the museum and artists, collectors, and the regional context. In addition they show how the city of Eindhoven has served as a source of inspiration for (inter)national artists for decades.

- Be[com]ing Dutch The Exhibition 24/05/2008 - 14/09/2008 The exhibition Be(com)ing Dutch is part of a large scale project that has been in progress for two years. During that time, the museum has focused on what have become sensitive issues for the Netherlands, such as identity, nationality, citizenship and social cohesion. In those two years artists, intellectuals, politicians and the people of Eindhoven were invited to find possible answers to awkward questions. What does ‘Being Dutch' or ‘Becoming Dutch’ mean in the 21st Century? Who are ‘the Dutch’ anyway and how do we want to be seen by ourselves and others? The outcome of this whole process is being shown in an exhibition of artists’ works in the museum and throughout the city of Eindhoven.
