Nan Hoover
New York, May 12, 1931 – Berlin, June 9, 2008

It is with deepest sadness that we bid farewell to Nan Hoover.

Dear Nan, you were one of the most important international pioneers of video and performance art. You came to Amsterdam for a vacation, fell in love with the city and decided to stay.
With your video art you revealed the beauty of light, stillness and time. You have left us with the memories of your spontaneity, your warmth and sharp eye for the work of your colleagues and students – and of course your oeuvre, preserved in museums and many collections.

A special memorial is organized for Nan Hoover on June 20th at the > Netherlands Media Art Institute, Keizersgracht 264, Amsterdam from > 5:00 – 7:00 pm. For questions and/or details please contact us via > info<at>nimk.nl
