  • Sonsbeek is an outdoor sculpture exhibition founded in 1949, that takes place intermittently in Park Sonsbeek in Arnhem, the Netherlands. It was originally meant to be a biennial exhibition, however it occurs on an irregular schedule. Sonsbeek was initiated in an attempt to repair the heavy damage the city had suffered during the Battle of Arnhem during the Second World War. The 1949 inaugural exhibition featured over 200 sculptures that were installed along the park's pathways. It was attended by over 100,000 visitors. The first instalment included artists such as Auguste Rodin, Henry Moore, and Pablo Picasso. Later exhibitions featured artists such as Jenny Holzer, Claes Oldenburg and others. The 1971 installment of the show was the most well known, and often criticized, of the Sonsbeek exhibitions. In that installment, curator Wim Bereem commissioned works outside the park, including Robert Smithson's land-reclamation earthwork, Broken Circle/Spiral Hill. The 1993 installment was curated by Valerie Smith, and included the artists Ann Hamilton, Mike Kelley, Annette Messager and others. Other curators have included Jan Hoet (2001), Saskia Bos (1986), and the Indonesian art collective, Ruangrupa in 2016. Sonsbeek 9, "Locus Focus" took place in 2011 in three venues, Sonsbeek Park, Eusebius church at a suburban shopping mall (Kronenburg). The Sonsbeek 20→24 exhibition was slated to open in 2020, but was postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. (en)
