VINCENT VULSMA
A Sign Of Autumn
15 October - 27 November, 2011
This autumn we’re delighted to announce a solo-exhibition by Amsterdam-based artist Vincent Vulsma in the Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam (SMBA). By employing strategies of spatio-temporal montage, Vulsma brings together objects and patterns taken from their contexts in ethnographic collections and the canons of modernist design and photography, deliberately moving back and forth along the lines between what is classified as commodity, art or ethnographic object. His interests are directed toward the effects of shifting cultural objects across different social and historical contexts, investigating the role that artists and other art specialists have in these processes of value-making.
