During the 1960s and 70s, Amsterdam was a nexus of intense art activities, drawing artists from all over the world, including Stanley Brouwn, Gilbert &amp; George, Sol LeWitt, Charlotte Posenenske, Allen Ruppersberg and Lawrence Weiner. Reciprocally, some of the most influential Dutch artists traveled abroad extensively before establishing themselves in Amsterdam: Jan Dibbets studied in London, while Ger van Elk and Bas Jan Ader trained in Los Angeles. As a result of this new mobility, a dynamic cross-pollination of ideas and influences took place between artists of different nationalities, and many produced works directly related to the notion of travel and the city that fostered them. In &amp; Out of Amsterdam presents more than 120 works--including works on paper, installations, photographs and films--by artists who were part of this remarkable creative culture. Essays, accompanied by lively illustrations and documentary photographs, illuminate the significance of these works as well as the unprecedented role that prints, bulletins, posters, mail art, artists' books and ephemera played in the artists' discourse. A brief essay or interview introduces each artist, and an extensive chronology, bibliography and illustrated checklist round out this unique volume.

History & Criticism

The Museum of Modern Art, New York

Harald Szeemann’s 1969 legendary exhibition Live in Your Head: When Attitudes Become Form was one of the first shows to bring together new tendencies in 1960s art, such as postminimalism, Arte Povera, Land art and Conceptual art. While the exhibition has been widely discussed and researched, an investigation into its impact has never before been realized in an exhibition. This volume explores the history and myths around When Attitudes Become Form, gathering a group of artists that explore the legacy of Conceptual art. The catalogue follows the office-binder format of the 1969 publication, with newly commissioned essays, a previously unpublished interview with Szeemann by Jens Hoffman and essays and images from over 80 artists in the exhibition, including Allora and Calzadilla, Claire Fontaine, Elmgreen and Dragset, Lara Favaretto, Luisa Lambri and Tino Sehgal.

In 2012 Slovakian artist Roman Ondák was honored as the Deutsche Bank’s “Artist of the Year,” an achievement celebrated in this catalogue. One of the world’s most distinguished contemporary conceptual artists, Ondák creates (often participatory) works that elaborate philosophical and political dimensions from everyday experience.

In a daring act of historical reconstruction, the curator Germano Celant, in dialogue with Thomas Demand and Rem Koolhaas, has recreated Harald Szeemann’s epochal Live in Your Head: When Attitudes Become Form, held at the Bern Kunsthalle in 1969, and installed by Celant at the magnificent Ca’ Corner della Regina in Venice in June–November 2013. Szeemann’s show was a dialogue with the Bern Kunsthalle, and Celant has reprised its spirit by placing the works in dialogue with the Ca’ Corner della Regina--a very different building, in its Venetian grandeur, to the Kunsthalle. This publication is divided into three parts: the first reproduces photo documentation of the original exhibit, the second compiles essays and interviews on Celant’s project and the third includes the installation views of the show in Venice. The book is completed by a "Register" of works included in both shows.
