Then you can submit your work of art until November 22. This Open Call will be followed by a jury selection and a group exhibition in 2022.

Hipólito Ocalia (Curaçao 1916 – Curaçao 1984)

Hipólito Ocalia (Curaçao 1916 – Curaçao 1984) was appreciated for the originality and quality of his paintings, but he largely worked outside of the art circuit…Ocalia was a socially and politically committed self-made man with many skills. He was, among other things, a carpenter, school bus driver, and was a keen writer. He also set up a sewing education project with the aim of providing poor people a source of income. When an American gallery showed an interest in his paintings and he enlisted the help of acquaintances to translate his positive response into Papiamento (the language he mastered), he missed out on the offer because the translation was not delivered and he was therefore too late to respond. He sold his work on a stall in Willemstad to Curaçaoans and international tourists.In 1967 the Stedelijk Museum bought four of his paintings through the Dutch painter Jan Henderikse, who lives in Curaçao. During his lifetime, works by Ocalia were affordable to purchase but today they fetch quite high prices.

The changing POST/NO/BILLS series @stedelijkmuseum

The changing POST/NO/BILLS series @stedelijkmuseum presents the fastest, most socially responsive forms of graphic design in the main ‘thoroughfare’ of the museum. For this second edition, the floor is given to the collective @now_you_see_me_moria . On view are photos taken clandestinely with a mobile phone by people living in the Moria refugee camp on the Greek island of Lesbos, subsequently transformed by designers into activist posters. From now until the 30th of January 2022, you have the opportunity to print a poster at the museum free of charge, become a messenger of what’s happening and denounce the inhuman conditions in which people are forced to live.

Have you heard about the very first museum audio t

Have you heard about the very first museum audio tour?Did you know that the Stedelijk Museum had the world premiere with these devices? In 1952, the Stedelijk was the first museum to present the so-called ‘wireless tour’ during the exhibition Valsch of echt? Visitors were given an explanation about the works of art via such a device through earplugs. Newspapers such as Le Monde and The New York Times wrote about it at the time, and several museums, including the prestigious New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, inquired about this invention.The idea came from Emile Meijer, scientific assistant at the Centraal Museum in Utrecht, who aroused the interest of Stedelijk director Willem Sandberg after his director dismissed it. Meijer was inspired by a similar device that was used as a hearing aid at a cinema he visited.Meijer would later become head of education at the Rijksmuseum and went on to become the first director of the Van Gogh Museum. To this day, audio tours plays an important role in museums around the world.- audio tour equipment of the Stedelijk Museum, 1952
