With the collaboration of the Mondriaan Fund and the Embassy of the Netherlands in Spain, ARCOmadrid hosts a representation of Dutch art organisations convened by the Barcelona-based curatorial office Latitudes. The Dutch Assembly is an accumulation of thirty hourly talks, readings, artists presentations, performances, book launches, conversations and screenings throughout the five days of ARCOmadrid which take place within a specially-commissioned spiral "Superstructure" by artist Jasper Niens and designer Thijs Ewalts. As well as featuring the most important Dutch contemporary art venues and exhibition spaces, the events include those led by artists, commissioning agencies, academies, research programmes, and magazines and form a series of ‘depositions' highlighting the exemplary work being done in the Netherlands. The Dutch Assembly seeks to address cultural practice in a rapidly-changing economic and political climate from the Dutch perspective in an international context as well as reflecting on the artistic links between Spain and the Netherlands. Participants include: De Appel arts centre, Amsterdam; Marres, Maastricht; Museum De Paviljoens, Almere; Wendelien van Oldenborgh, artist; If I Can't Dance, I Don't Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution, Amsterdam; Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam; TENT, Rotterdam; Stichting Kunst en Openbare Ruimte (SKOR), Amsterdam; BAK, basis voor actuele kunst, Utrecht; De Ateliers, Amsterdam; Jeremiah Day, artist; and many others.
