Het Nieuwe Instituut Members, alongside selected guests (press, relations), a special insider's experience of the exhibition Art on Display 1949-69 with talks and a tour by the two curators Penelope Curtis (director of the Gulbenkian Museum) and Dirk van den Heuvel ( Jaap Bakema Study Center). Furthermore the group will visit Lisbon Architecture Triennale: The Poetics of Reason . Art on Display 1949-69 investigates the relationship between art, architecture and the public by focusing on art exhibitions designed by architects Aldo van Eyck, Lina Bo Bardi, Carlo Scarpa, Franco Albini and Alison and Peter Smithson.

Together with the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum Het Nieuwe Instituut is organizing an afternoon about (re-) making exhibitions. Strategies for dealing with the question of reconstructing exhibitions and historic ways of looking at art will be discussed, as will the question of how design helps us to look at and be with art. Besides the two curators, Wouter Davidts (art and architecture historian), Guus Beumer (director of The New Institute) and Ippolito Pestellini Laparelli (architect, designer or exhibitions and partner or OMA) will engage in the conversation. The program will be followed by a private cocktail party.
