Oude Kerk opens a radical and site specific exhibition by Christian Boltanski
(Artdaily.org)
 


A radical and site specific exhibition by Christian Boltanski is being held in the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam this fall. Boltanski is known as one of the greatest artists in the world, with a ouevre that deals with the way we remember and commemorate. In a lieu de mémoire like the Oude Kerk, with its eight centuries of history and 2,200 memorial stones, his work is very much at home. The artist has created a site-specific composition consisting of seven different works that address the existential question of what happens after our life has come to an end. Considering the fact that Boltanski made a bet on his own life that expired this year, this work is very much autobiographical. NA (after) is an exhibition that is expected to have a profound impact on the audience. The installations, which are in proportion to the size of the centuries-old church, are invasive and they address the visitor even in a literal sense.
