Art on Display 1949-69 investigates the relationship between art, architecture and the public by focusing on art exhibitions designed by architects Aldo van Eyck, Lina Bo Bardi, Carlo Scarpa, Franco Albini and Alison and Peter Smithson.

Together with the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum Het Nieuwe Instituut is organizing an afternoon about (re-)making exhibitions. Strategies for dealing with the question of reconstructing exhibitions and historic ways of looking at art will be discussed, as will the question of how design helps us to look at and be with art. Besides the two curators, Wouter Davidts (art and architecture historian), Guus Beumer (director of Het Nieuwe Instituut) and Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli (architect, designer of exhibitions and partner of OMA) will engage in the conversation.
