the Eindhoven School ended where it had once started…

Antwerp, March 4, 2020 - June 7, 2020
With its final installation at deSingel Art Campus in Antwerp, the exhibition The Eindhoven School: A Forgotten Avant-Garde ended where the original exhibition, The Eindhoven School: The Modern Past had originally opened in December 1988. Occupying the same space where the original exhibition had first been installed, the display was organized as a long linear narrative that allowed circulation through its very center. Along the walls and windows that characterize this particular circulation and exhibition space, the exhibition presented, for a final time, a reassessment of the original exhibition at deSingel, an examination of the intellectual context that fostered such architectural work to be produced and, ultimately, questions regarding how the contributions of the Eindhoven School should be remembered today.
Despite the originally planned long-running time, the exhibition was cut short and was only open to visitors for two weeks, as the necessary corona restrictions determined a lock down of the building. However, while the gallery remained empty, a virtual tour of the exhibition was prepared by the Flanders Architecture Institute (VAI), which can be seen below. After the exhibition traveling for three years, perhaps the Eindhoven School is no longer quite as forgotten.
