Lecture Series Hyperpolarity Day
Art in the twenty-first century

By popular demand: a series that is more modern than the Colloquium Modern Art and goes much deeper than the earlier, short lecture series Hypercontemporary. In eight lectures and one excursion you will be taken through the landscape of the most current art from 2000 to the present. What movements and trends can already be discerned? Which names make the difference? And what is happening in the Netherlands? Can our art measure up to that of the rest of the world? The Free Academy dives into the 21st century with you for the latest developments.

8 lectures and 1 excursion | Incl. digital syllabus

Price: €247.00

Excl. weekly admission at college in a museum, discounted admission with Museum Card
