Redlight fashion
The Amsterdam Historical Museum presents one of the twentieth century’s most fascinating works of art: The Hoerengracht (1983 – 1988), by American artists Edward Kienholz and Nancy Reddin Kienholz. This worldfamous installa¬tion, a walkthrough reinterpretation of a section of Amsterdam’s red light district, measures over 13 by 4 metres. With its display of richly decorated rooms of window prostitutes, the work is more than a superb example of assemblage art; it is a monument to the Wallen of the 1980s. This is the first time the work is shown in Amsterdam.
The exhibition The Hoerengracht examines the connection between art and Amsterdam’s red light district. Alongside Kienholz’s work, Dutch and international contemporary artists comment on the theme of window prostitution. Role Exchange by Marina Abramovic, for exam¬ple, explores what happens when an artist and a prostitute change places. Work is also shown of artists and designers who took part in the recent Redlight Fashion, Art and Design projects, contributing to the transformation of the red light district.
