SUMMARY:Opening Reception: Spot P!
DESCRIPTION:Come and celebrate the opening of Spot P! by Kasper Klop\, Deron Gopie\, and Morwenna Spagnol. Free and open to the public.\n\n\n\nPeter Stuyvesant is often credited with laying the foundations for what became New York City.\nToday\, this man of Dutch origin is celebrated all around town: statues\, neighborhoods in his name\, cigarette brand…\nYet\, if we take a closer look\, he was a trader and owner of enslaved Africans in the United States.\nBolstered by his fortune and his influence\, he sold enslaved people at public auction\, held and expressed deeply antisemitic views\, violently oppressed the Lenape\, and actively suppressed religious minorities. \nDutch artist Kasper Klop asked himself: what is my responsibility to reckon with this history as a Dutch person\, and what would happen if the full story got told\, rather than a partial one\, as so often happens in our commemorative landscape? \nIn collaboration with his long-time artistic partner Morwenna Spagnol\, and videographer Deron Gopie\, Kasper and the team created a multiple choice survey investigating how much New Yorkers really know about Stuyvesant\, and once they know the facts\, what they think about them. \nWhere did the team investigate? At three sites celebrating the old colonial officer: Stuyvesant Square in Manhattan with his very own statue\, Stuyvesant Avenue in Bedford-Stuyvesant (Brooklyn)\, and outside a smoke shop – because yes\, Peter even had a cigarette brand named after him\, whose branding was often based on white people discovering and appropriating exotic frontiers\, looking very cool and smoking Stuyvesants while doing so. \nWho got interviewed? Whoever happened to pass the place celebrating Stuyvesant at the moment in time that the team was there. People walking their dog\, coming back from work\, dropping their kids at school… In other words\, the collective. The team questioned the life of a place with the history behind its name. \nThe exhibition at Dyckman Farmhouse Museum showcases New Yorkers’ fascinating replies to the survey\, their knowledge (or lack thereof)\, views\, astonishment\, powerlessness\, indifference\, outrage and nuanced responses that grapple with holding multiple contradictions at once. Also on view are extracts from primary source materials – that is\, what Stuyvesant wrote in his own hand about his dark deeds\, as well as original letters addressed directly to him.  \nSpot P! will be on view at Dyckman Farmhouse Museum from October 29\, 2026 to January 30\, 2027. \nThis program is supported by The Holland Society of New York and DutchCultureUSA\, a program of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the United States.
