Apocalypse 2024
VR RECONSTRUCTION AND NEW DESIGN OF THE APOCALYPSE AT THE STEDELIJK MUSEUM 2023
The Stedelijk presented five decades of artistry by multi-talented Felix de Rooy (Curaçao, 1952) with film, theater and visual arts in countless forms from paintings to assemblages and from (digital) collages to wall hangings. Far ahead of his time, De Rooy investigated topics that are still relevant today, including the impact of the colonial past, everyday racism and the meaning of Afro-Caribbean and queer identities in art.
In 2024-2025, DNA will build the Virtual Exhibition, a composite version of the Apocalypse in the Stedelijk Museum 2023 and the publication EGO DOCUMENTA, both designed by René Wissink (Atelier Argos).

'STATE OF THE ART' 2025
SYMPOSIUM AND EXHIBITION 'STATE OF THE ART' 2025
A selected group of 5 scenographers is invited by UVA Theater Science to present their vision in the XR Museum.
IMMERSIVE STORIES
Contemporary artists who reflect on the work, ideas and visions of 96 Avant Garde Artists from the 1920s. Their visions and new visual language are shown in the VR reconstructed XRMuseum. A story that spans a hundred years of theater history, starting with the Avant Garde of 1922, then jumping to the present, the year 2024, and then on to the year 2025 and 'onwards'.
IT IS THE SCENOGRAPHY -THE VISUAL LANGUAGE- THAT IS AT THE CORE OF THIS NARRATIVE
Between storyboard and result, the immersive technology and the perhaps unwanted interference of AI show us how visual language has changed in form and use. The contemporary image makers, chosen for their multidisciplinary work, quality and visions, tell the story with their own images in the 2025 exhibition.
