Janis Rafa — Feed me. Cheat me. Eat me. | Eye Amsterdam | Exhibition | 2023

Eye Filmmuseum presents a solo exhibition by artist and filmmaker Janis Rafa.
Rafa’s visual language is filmic and seductive. Yet her work is disquieting: it prompts the viewer to consider pressing questions, such as how humans relate to one another and to the world around them. Her latest works – which premieres at Eye – focus on the tension between care for and exploitation of animals and landscapes, through human inventions and desires.

The Destroyed City | Museum Rotterdam '40-'45 NU | Exhibition | 2023

This permanent exhibition is an expansion of Museum Rotterdam ’40-’45 NU.
14 May 1940, marked a traumatic breaking point in the story of Rotterdam. Bombing, fire, and rubble clearance destroyed a large portion of its built history. During reconstruction, the focus was on turning Rotterdam into a thoroughly modern metropolis.
In this exhibition Rotterdam before May 1940 comes to life in photos, film footage and historical architectural models.

Fiona Tan — Mountains and molehills

Eye Amsterdam

Exhibition

2022

Fiona Tan — Mountains and molehills | Eye Amsterdam | Exhibition | 2022

This exhibition is a journey through a selection of works from Fiona Tan’s oeuvre, in which the passing of time and the role of the landscape as a mental space are recurring themes.
The exhibition focuses on Gray Glass (2020) and Inventory (2012), and the new work Footsteps (2022), which Fiona Tan made at the invitation of Eye. These video installations explore the connections between landscape, environment and humankind, and also the relationships between image, maker and viewer.
For Tan, time is both a medium and a vehicle. It is a material that she studies, shapes and processes into artworks – often in combination with still and moving images.

Home is where the art is

Home is where the art is | Kunsthal, Rotterdam | Exhibition | 2022

Collecting art can be a life-enhancing experience, especially when you surround yourself with it at home. This is demonstrated by the exhibition ‘Home is where the Art is’. At the Kunsthal, the collectors Johan Poort and Manon Visser invite the public to step into their home, as it were – the place where they live amidst their joint art collection. Different movements, periods, and both ‘high’ and ‘low’ art all meet and interact with each other in this diverse and intuitively shaped collection. In an intimate, homely setting the public will be able to discover associative, unexpected connections between a wide variety of artworks that clearly show Poort and Visser’s love of collecting.
