Exhibiting the New Art: 'Op Losse Schroeven' and 'When Attitudes Become Form' 1969

'The "new art" of the late 1960s was shown in two landmark exhibitions in 1969: "Op Losse Schroeven" and "When Attitudes Become Form". This book reveals how each brought together Arte Povera, Anti-Form, Conceptual and Land art, whilst challenging such categories and introducing innovative curatorial strategies. Christian Rattemeyer offers a rich comparative analysis of the two exhibitions, exploring the related but differing approaches of the two curators - Wim Beeren and Harald Szeemann - in two distinct institutional settings - the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam and the Kunsthalle Bern. Texts by Beeren and Szeemann, Charles Harrison and Tommaso Trini are complemented by new research and recent interviews with the artists Marinus Boezem, Jan Dibbets, Ger van Elk, Piero Gilardi and Richard Serra.'
