In June 2008 de Appel presents:

Nancy Spero (US) “Spero Speaks”
Currently on show till June 22 2008

Nancy Spero (1926) ranks as one of the most important artists of her generation. To mark the release of the unique publication “Codex Spero. Nancy Spero Selected Writings and Interviews 1950 – 2008” – a ‘radical manifest’ or an ‘artistic testament’ with a selection of texts of the artist, personal statements, notes and interviews compiled by curator Roel Arkesteijn (NL) – de Appel is hosting a solo exhibition by this prominent American artist.

For book orders please contact Ednavanduyn@deappel.nl

“The artist is a mysterious entertainer”
2 – 22 June 2008

Artists: Guy de Cointet (FR/US), Allen Ruppersberg (US), Benoit Marie (FR), Mario Garcia Torres (MX/US), Trisha Donnelly (US), Matt Mullican (US).

“The artist is a mysterious entertainer” takes as its starting point the permanent piece by Allen Ruppersberg located on the top floor of de Appel’s building. Ruppersberg’s “Library Floor” (1994) will play different roles in the exhibition, which takes it as its physical as much as conceptual frame. Departing from this imaginary library, the exhibition and performances curated by Vanessa Desclaux (FR/UK), intend to explore the multi-faceted role of the artist as author, narrator and fictional character, looking at various artistic practices that are drawn to the performative dimension of language and the invention of fictions.

“Immovably Centred”
2 – 22 June 2008

Artist Arnoud Holleman (NL) realises a performance- and videoproject in collaboration with mugmetdegoudentand about the bond between megalomania and envisioned failure as the motor for contemporary art practice. Based on an investigation into how Auguste Rodin relates to Rainer Maria Rilke.

For the exact dates and time of the performances and additionel events see our website www.deappel.nl
