A Festival of Choices: Sandberg Institute at SMBA
11 – 15 July 2012
Opening: 11 July, 6-9 p.m.
Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam welcomes Sandberg student Ina Marie Schmidt during A Festival of Choices, organized by the Master of Fine Arts of the Sandberg Institute. As part of their graduation, students of the Sandberg each present their work in a different gallery or art space across Amsterdam. Ina Marie Schmidt will show her graduation work Stille Post for five days in the exhibition space of SMBA.
Ina Marie Schmidt’s Stille Post
can be regarded as a musical abstraction of another work, Family Matters, that will be launched during the opening on the website www.inamarieschmidt.com. Both works are about storytelling. The starting point was a family photo album, which generated recollections of a story from four different angles. The protagonist of the story is Dieter. He was found dead one day on a railroad track in the German countryside. Two men and two women look back at this family member, each from their own perspective. This results in a very fragmented and unclear picture of Dieter. Schmidt’s work questions the possibility of truthful representation, and asks what other forms are possible for giving an historical account.
