For New Light 1, a new episode of Ani Schulze’s soap opera The Convent of Pleasure has been commissioned by the Groninger Museum. Filmed at the museum, this episode is a meditation on the convent’s architecture. The episode is informed by Schulze's research into De Ploeg and especially its member Alida Pott. It draws upon De Ploeg's collective structure as well as Pott's puppet making and watercolours.
New Light 1: Ani Schulze – The Convent of Pleasure is the first in a new series of exhibitions that cast new light on the museum’s collection of works by Groningen’s avant-garde artist society, De Ploeg.
