ENOUGH
Installation at Refresh Amsterdam, the Amsterdam Museum in collaboration with Gemeente AmsterdamExhibition runs from December 11th 2020 to March 28th, 2021.
The sculptural installation ENOUGH consists of historical building fragments from Amsterdam’s monuments. Through researching their origins, Pittas reflects on contested monuments and statues today and plays with the ambiguous narratives of heritage, political protest and social movements. The process reactivates history and takes it into the present. To echo, voice and recycle the transhistorical realities, the fragments are ‘vandalized’ with graphite and marble dust quotations, taken from alternative archives as well as the contemporary public domain.

Interview Charl Landvreugd
with Margriet Schavemaker, for CBK Zuidoost published at Mister Motley Magazine
”Er worden radicaal nieuwe stappen gezet in het culturele domein waarin bevraagd wordt welke positie het museum en culturele instellingen vandaag de dag zou moeten innemen in de maatschappij. Om de kritiek van ontoegankelijkheid en eenzeidigheid te bestrijden wordt er met man en macht actief naar manieren gezocht om inclusief te programmeren.”
