CATPC at the Van Abbemuseum
12 December 2024
From December 21, 2024, to March 2, 2025, the Van Abbemuseum presents Two Sides of the Same Coin, a powerful solo exhibition by CATPC following their Venice Biennale showcase. Featuring sculptures, drawings, textiles, and video installations, the exhibition explores themes of colonization, land regeneration, and the global art world’s structures of recognition and wealth.
At the Van Abbemuseum, CATPC’s works will engage with the museum’s Delinking and Relinking collection, examining colonial histories and the museum’s founding ties to plantations in Indonesia. New works connect plantations in Congo and Sumatra, complemented by dialogues with Indonesian plantation communities. Stories of the museum’s colonial past will also feature in the ongoing exhibition Hidden Connections.
