Dutch Doc Film 'White Balls on Walls' About Running an Art Museum

"Should we be politically incorrect?" Icarus Films has revealed an official US trailer for an intriguing doc from The Netherlands titled White Balls on Walls. If that title doesn't pique your interest, perhaps the concept and the conversation within it will. "What do we do with an art history where all the works are made by men? Join the meetings as the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam tries to bring art into a new age. It is wise and funny to listen to in an elegant film that sets the bar high." The film premiered at the IDFA Film Festival in Amsterdam last year, and recently stopped by CPH:DOX this month, before opening in the US this May. I'm curious to see how they handle this problem and answer questions that are brought up about culture, art, and curation.

Enjoy the trailer & watch for it soon. // Continue Reading ›
