On 10 May 2022 a new fund will be launched in the Kr\u00f6ller-M\u00fcller Museum: the Hilgemann Fund. It was established in 2021 by visual artist Ewerdt Hilgemann and his wife Antoinette de Stigter. The fund is intended to support \u2018idiosyncratic sculpture\u2019, or spatial art in the broad sense. Support can take the form of a purchase, an exhibition or a publication. The fund is administered by the Kr\u00f6ller-M\u00fcller Museum.<\/p>\n
With the Hilgemann Fund Ewerdt Hilgemann wants to give something \u2018back\u2019 for the rich career he has had. Cooperation with other artists has always played an important role for him, as it did for Antoinette de Stigter, who in 1989 founded Art Affairs, a gallery in Amsterdam that specialises in international modern art with a strong conceptual slant.<\/p>\n

\nThe first allocation from the Hilgemann Fund is a contribution to the purchase in 2021 of six video works by Jeroen Jongeleen (Apeldoorn, 1967). Jongeleen often works in public space. During the first lockdown in 2020, he will start running in deserted urban places, initially for long distances but eventually in the form of a circle. A drone follows his movements and shows how Jongeleen, while running, leaves a trail behind him on car parks and forbidden city sites, but also in a landscape near the Kr\u00f6ller-M\u00fcller Museum. A spatial gesture by an artist stuck in a self-made hamster wheel, thus drawing a parallel with the corona pandemic, which man himself created and subsequently imprisoned.<\/p>\n
