Directors Talk — Van Doesburg and the International Avant-Garde
6th March — 6th March 2010
Tate Modern, 53 Bankside, Southwark, London SE1 9TG
Paul Hobson will discuss this exhibition, devoted to Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg (1883 — 1931) and his modernist contemporaries, whose influence on contemporary art is considerable.
Van Doesburg travelled extensively in Europe in the 1920s and 30s, a pivotal time in which he made connections and collaborated with avant-garde greats of the time.
This exhibition explores Doesburg’s role as promoter of Dutch Neoplasticism, his Dada personality, his efforts to influence the Bauhaus, his links with international Constructivists and his creation of the group Art Concret.
Members are asked to purchase tickets prior to meeting the group. Meet at the entrance to the exhibition.
