De Appel is pleased to announce that Ka-Tjun Hau took on the role of Curator of Embedded Art (formerly titled Curator of Education) as of March 1 of this year. Ka-Tjun took over the position from David Smeulders, who has taken on this role since 2017 and has shaped it with commitment. To mark this change in de Appel’s team between David’s leaving and Ka-Tjun’s arrival, they sat down together to discuss the role of education within the arts and specifically at de Appel.

Between April 13 and June 4, 2024, de Appel will present the video installation Edgelanders: Amsterdam on Trial / Part III: The Witnesses, as part of a larger project by artists Ehsan Fardjaniya and Raul Balai. In conversation, the artists talk more about their collaboration, the previous two parts of the project and what they are planning in the future.

De Appel is fortunate to have found a home for the coming several years. What does a home for a cultural institution mean? And how can we warm it up together for the coming years? We would like to start the year together, thinking about land and housing in poetic and practical ways.
