The exhibition The Eindhoven School: a forgotten avant-garde?<\/em> was the result of a two-year research into the history of what is called ‘the Eindhoven School’: a group of architects, graduated from Eindhoven during the period 1973-1990. Their work, however pluralistic, is characterized by an open-minded approach towards architecture and art history, and can be seen as early adapters of post-modernism in Dutch architecture. The motivation for undertaking such a project came from the deaths in 2016 of professors Geert Bekaert, Gerard van Zeijl and Joost Meuwissen, the curators of the first exhibition on this alledged ‘Eindhoven School’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 2017 and 2020, The Eindhoven School: a forgotten avant-garde?<\/em> travelled from the architecture faculty at TU Eindhoven<\/strong> to OMI (Office for Metropolitan Information)<\/strong> in Rotterdam, to the architecture faculty at TU Delft<\/strong>, to the newly opened Charles Vandenhove Pavilion in Ghent<\/strong>, to finally return to the venue of the original 1988 exhibition in DeSingel in Antwerp<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During its run, the exhibition hosted a plethora of activities, such as film screenings, lectures, panel discussions, and at its culmination a symposium at Het Nieuwe Institute titled “Whatever Happened to History and Theory in Dutch Architecture?”<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
