In 2019, Antonis Pittas did a residency and research at the Van Doesburghuis, coinciding with the yellow vests protest. Pittas turned the Van Doesburghuis into a performative crime scene, reflecting on the murder of modernity. Based on this project, the Centraal Museum in Utrecht invited Pittas for a solo exhibition, where he curated works of Theo Van Doesburg and juxtaposed them with his work as a staged scenography of dialogue. The installation looks at the heritage of De Stijl through the current political lenses.
