This issue of The Remote Archivist is made by Mika Hayashi Ebbesen. They first encountered the archive during the exhibition Catching Up in the Archive in 2022. Their work as an editor in print publishing, and their commitment to the historiographic process of knowledge production, led them to return this year to delve further into the material traces of de Appel’s role in giving a platform to performance as an artistic genre.
Conversation between Ka-Tjun Hau and David Smeulders
De Appel is pleased to announce that Ka-Tjun Hau took on the role of Curator of Embedded Art (formerly titled Curator of Education) as of March 1 of this year. Ka-Tjun took over the position from David Smeulders, who has taken on this role since 2017 and has shaped it with commitment. To mark this change in de Appel’s team between David’s leaving and Ka-Tjun’s arrival, they sat down together to discuss the role of education within the arts and specifically at de Appel.
