White Balls on Walls
dir. Sarah Vos / 2022 / The Netherlands / 91min.
This film is more than a look behind the scenes at a museum, it magnificently encapsulates the struggles that are engaging many cultural institutions.
The slogan “Meet the icons of modern art” needs to be scraped off the glass wall of the Stedelijk, Amsterdam’s modern art museum. Because precisely who the icons of modern art are is very much the question. Who gets to decide? And who loses out? This film is more than a look behind the scenes at a museum: as well as presenting a new perspective on art history, it magnificently encapsulates the struggles that are engaging many historical and cultural institutions.
