Wendelien van Oldenborgh - Cinema Olanda

Dutch Pavilion, 57th International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia 2017. Commissioned by the Mondriaan Fund. Edited by [curator] Lucy Cotter. Foreword by Birgit Donker. Including texts by Beatriz Colomina, E. C. Feiss, Emily Pethick, Denise Ferreira da Silva, Sven Lütticken and Gloria Wekker. Graphic design by David Bennewith.

Featuring three new filmic works, presented in a site-specific installation engaging with Gerrit Rietveld's pavilion architecture, the exhibition operates in the cracks between the projected image of the Netherlands as a transparent avant-garde country and its reality today as a complex and rapidly transforming social, cultural and political space. Van Oldenborgh uses the cinematic format as a methodology for production, with live film shoots generating the collective co-production of scripts. This publication presents rich visual documentation, together with essays by writers from a wide range of fields. It extends Cinema Olanda's integrated engagement with art, film and architecture in dynamic relation to questions of social imaginary and agency. 175 Seiten mit 40 Abb., gebunden (Hatje Cantz Verlag 2017) etwas bestoßen/somewhat bumped
