In 2015, the Netherlands commemorates its occupation seventy-five years ago and celebrates its liberation seventy years ago. Monuments to Peace presents both realised and unexecuted designs for war memorials from the archives of Het Nieuwe Instituut. In the exhibition, three young designers and artists selected by Studio Makkink & Bey show how a new generation deals with themes of war and peace. Prior to the celebration of Liberation Day on May 5, all over the country people gather at one of the many war memorials on the evening of May 4 to commemorate the victims of the war years 1940-1945. Monuments to Peace is the fourth edition of the exhibition series Surprising finds from the collection and shows a number of well-known monuments to World War II, of which the designs are part of the collection of Het Nieuwe Instituut. Archivist Alfred Marks again uses his extensive knowledge of the archive to tell stories that run through the collection on the basis of drawings, photographs, and models. More exhibition info here.
