“Artists like Sol LeWitt and Lawrence Weiner were eager to work with Amsterdam’s gallery Art & Project, which existed until 2001. Their entire legendary collection of Bulletins is now on view at The Merchant House.” —Het Financieele Dagblad (EN / NL)

TMH opens its fall program on 16 October 2015 with a historical exhibition of ART & PROJECT BULLETINS 1-156, 1968-1989, presented in dialogue with the recent work of the Dutch multimedia artist Hilarius Hofstede.

With their Bulletins, Art & Project’s late founders, Geert van Beijeren and Adriaan van Ravesteijn, ingeniously merged an information tool and art form. Each Bulletin—an A3 sheet folded and mailed to and from the great peripatetic masters, such as Ger van Elk, Lawrence Weiner, Jan Dibbets, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long, Daniel Buren, Marcel Broodthaers, and Gilbert & George, who vied for the reductive dominance over its paper grid—is an artist’s book par excellence. All 156 as a set are a 21-year log of the unique gallery experience, which helped propel Amsterdam to the nexus of the international conceptual avant-garde in the 1970s.
