On the occasion of the launch of the second volume of UpClose, the new publication series focusing on key works from the S.M.A.K. collection, you can watch the film 'Why Are You Angry?' by artists Nashashibi / Skaer for free from March 10 to March 29 during museum opening hours.
In “Why Are You Angry?”, Rosalind Nashashibi and Lucy Skaer travel in the footsteps of French artist Paul Gauguin to Tahiti. From a critical, contemporary perspective, they explore the myth-making surrounding the artist and raise questions about the representation of women and the effects of the exoticization of colonized territories.
