Getting started with the collection:
Poster dat heet wonen (that is called living)
Pieter Boersma (1945), silkscreen, 1970
The exhibition dat heet wonen (that is called living) held in the De Tor gallery in Amsterdam was a condemnation of the policy of the Amsterdam municipality. The opening ceremony consisted of squatting a little shop slated for demolition on Amsterdam’s Czaar Peterstraat. From then on the building served as a critical, socially engaged gallery. The lifeless concrete construction of the new Bijlmermeer housing estate is derided in the exhibition poster.
