PROJECT

Rakurs

Rakurs is a short cut to a programme that sets out new lines and aims for original, conceptual, as well as collaborative ventures.

Rakurs (Ракурс) means perspective, angle, or perspective foreshortening, such as can be seen in a photograph.

Wat does Rakurs want to achieve?

Rakurs wants to establish a research platform to promote partnerships between art institutions, archives, libraries, and research institutions in Europe, Russia, and other countries of the former Soviet Union that hold collections and literature on Russian avant-garde, Soviet, and post-Soviet art.

Rakurs is a machine of ideas.

Rakurs wants to collect data and make them available online. Rakurs wants to offer a digital space for artists, curators, and specialists. Rakurs wants to stimulate the development of shared research projects. Rakurs is a machine of ideas.

Rakurs is an initiative of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, the Van Abbemuseum Eindhoven, and the University of Amsterdam.
