Kunst Nu 2017
de Appel, Schipluidenlaan 12, Amsterdam
KUNST NU will have you gain insight into the history and context of the visual arts in an accessible and factual way. The course provides clear information and many storylines and anecdotes framing current trends in contemporary art. The approach is not chronological but thematic: the course is based on current concepts and questions in contemporary art and exhibition practice.
The speakers are professionals - artists, art critics and exhibition makers - and therefore don't consider art from a distance, but are part of the art wold. They monitor new artistic developments and make you part of their insights, preferences and insider knowledge. Participating in KUNST NU does not require prior knowledge of the subject matter. KUNST NU is open to all who want to find out what’s happening in art today. If you are interested please let us know by sending an email to info [at] deappel.nl.*The course is in Dutch and Dutch Sign Language. Please let us know if you require a Dutch sign interpretator before 11 September.
