This is America

art USA today : verslag van een road trip door de Verenigde Staten

In the This Is America Art USA Today exhibition, nearly 40 American artists bring the United States to the Netherlands through paintings, photographs, murals, documentation and installations. In their work they deal with current themes such as identity, urban living culture, climate issues and 'Trump'. What is it like to be an artist in the US in these times? Robbert Roos, curator of the exhibition, made a road trip through the country in the summer of 2019. He drove from the east to the west coast and back and spoke to artists, curators and gallery owners. Roos: 'Politically and socially, it is a torn country, in which not only Republicans and Democrats are fiercely opposed, but the city and countryside also seem to live in different experiences, racial tensions are still topical, a religious-conservative movement is actively trying progressive legislation. and the gap between rich and poor seems to be getting more and more pronounced. Artists have traditionally occupied a position in the social debate. Exhibition: Kunsthal KAdE, Amersfoort, The Netherlands (26.09.2020 -03.01.2021).

In de tentoonstelling This Is America Art USA Today brengen bijna veertig Amerikaanse kunstenaars via schilderijen, foto's, muurschilderingen, documentatie en installaties de Verenigde Staten naar Nederland. In hun werk behandelen zij actuele thema's als identiteit, stedelijke leefcultuur, klimaatproblematiek en 'Trump'. Hoe is het om in deze tijden kunstenaar te zijn in de VS? Robbert Roos, samensteller van de tentoonstelling, maakte in de zomer van 2019 een roadtrip door het land. Hij reed van de oost naar de westkust en weer terug en sprak met kunstenaars, curatoren en galeriehouders. Roos: 'Politiek en sociaal is het een verscheurd land, waarin niet alleen Republikeinen en Democraten fel tegenover elkaar staan, maar ook stad en platteland in verschillende belevingswerelden lijken te leven, raciale spanningen onverminderd actueel zijn, een religieus-conservatieve beweging actief probeert progressieve wetgeving terug te draaien en de kloof tussen arm en rijk steeds pregnanter lijkt te worden. Kunstenaars nemen van oudsher positie in binnen het maatschappelijke debat. Exhibition: Kunsthal KAdE, Amersfoort, The Netherlands (26.09.2020 -03.01.2021).
