The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam proudly presents Communitas, a survey exhibition of the work of Dutch artist Aernout Mik in Spring 2013.

It will be Mik’s first major solo exhibition in the Netherlands since 2000. The artist is designing a site specific installation for the Stedelijk and is creating a new, previously unseen work that will be included in this exhibition. Communitas will offer an overview of Mik’s distinctive oeuvre over the past dozen years with a selection of thirteen video installations, all created from 1999 to 2013. It will occupy the vast exhibition space on the lower level of the Stedelijk’s new wing, for which the artist will design a dynamic architectural environment for his video projections. With unerring precision, Mik offers an incisive perspective on the psycho-social state of society today. He references current political and social themes such as economic recession, global crises, and racial tension, exploring their portrayal in the media.
