Cinema Olanda by artist Wendelien van Oldenborgh and curator Lucy Cotter is the Dutch entry for the 57th Venice Biennale 2017. Featuring three new filmic works, presented in a site-specific installation engaging with Gerrit Rietveld’s pavilion architecture, the exhibition operates in the cracks between the projected image of the Netherlands as a transparent avant-garde country and its reality today as a complex and rapidly transforming social, cultural and political space. Van Oldenborgh uses the cinematic format as a methodology for production, with live film shoots generating the collective co-production of scripts. This publication presents rich visual documentation, together with essays by writers from a wide range of fields. It extends Cinema Olanda’s integrated engagement with art, film and architecture in dynamic relation to questions of social imaginary and agency.
