– here is the result from the Norwegian jury; my review of Alain de Botton & John Armstrong’s exhibition at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam – now on print in Morgenbladet (Norwegian weekly newspaper)
(a resume in English will follow tomorrow)
«Art is Therapy»
i’m sorry i can’t read norwegian, i would have like to read your piece. dutch newspapers and magazines aren’t very enthusiastic about the exhibition (to say the least); they think de Botton treats visitors as patients, which they find to be rather patronizing, and his use of the word WE makes them very cautious.
Hi Kim,
I will be posting a resume of my review in English tomorrow – my conclusion I have to admit, is, as for the Dutch critics, rather negative…
