"Five Stars" "★★★★★"
This exhibition examines approximately seventy-five works by artists of different nationalities relating to travel and the city of Amsterdam, which was the nexus of intense art activities in the 1960s and 1970s, when artists converged there from all over the world. Hanne Darboven, Gilbert & George, Sol LeWitt, Charlotte Posenenske, Allen Ruppersberg, and Lawrence Weiner, among others, spent considerable amounts of time in Amsterdam and often produced works in direct relation to the city.

I absolutly loved this show! It's highly intimate, thought provolking has art from a ton of artists! Its presentation is equaly intimate allowing each piece its own livelyhood. You leave with a clear feeling of what effect amsterdam has on artists(its warm and fuzzy!). Included is work from all sorts of artists, from old slowmotion 8mm Film projectors to graphic presentations on maps of amsterdamn. I felt like I was transported there for a blink of an eye. Much of the work is also some of the more earlyer work of the artists before they became more established. So there is a fresh and exploritory feel to much of the art. Whoever curtated this show was spot on! Hurry and go on Friday after 5:30 when you get in for free! Get your whistle wet on the exibit website!
