Events — May 11, 2023

Our Young Stedelijk Members have been invited to a city walk based around the exhibition General Idea. The walk will be guided by curator Jim van Geel and will pass 3 points in Amsterdam chosen by artist AA Bronson.

Location
Depot Stedelijk Museum
Time
May 11, 2023, 5 pm until 9.30 pm

Through serious humor, General Idea made difficult topics discussable and looked critically at society. For example, General Idea called attention to mass media, consumer culture, social inequality, queer identity, the art economy and the AIDS crisis.

The tour begins with a brief introduction about the exhibition, given by curator Jim van Geel. After the introduction, we will walk through Amsterdam past three locations chosen by artist AA Bronson himself on a tour. We recommend visiting the exhibition on your own before the event.

The day ends with drinks at Kanaal 40, an interdisciplinary space where music, art and food come together, right in the heart of Amsterdam. Young stedelijk members are welcome to join us for dinner at Kanaal 40 at their own expense.

Young Stedelijk members can sign up with sign-up button in the invitation they receive by mail.
