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
