On the occasion of the exhibition Cruz y Ortiz 1/200 ... 1/2000, the documentary "The New Rijksmuseum" is screened at the ICO Museum. The projection shows the complex process of remodeling of the Dutch museum carried out by Cruz and Ortiz Arquitectos.

Coinciding with the exhibition Cruz y Ortiz 1/200...1/2000 opened at the ICO Museum until January 22, 'The New Rijksmuseum' is screened, the documentary that shows the process of the reform of the well-known Dutch museum realized over 10 years by the architects Cruz and Ortiz.

In this film, directed by  Oeke Hoogendijk, illustrates much more than the process of building or remodeling a building. Its contents cover all the difficulties involved in the radical transformation of an institution such as the Rijksmuseum: obtaining permits, delays produced, interventions by citizen associations, as well as the different moments of the museological process

On the other hand, this documentary highlights the capacity for self-criticism and freedom of access and recording in the Netherlands, which allowed the director to keep track of the whole process.
 
The film - which lasts 93 minutes - is screened on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 pm at the ICO Museum in Madrid (C / Zorrilla, 3). Access - like the exhibition one - is free and no reservation is required.

Documentary given and edited by Fundación Arquia taking place with the occasion of the "Cruz y Ortiz 1/200 ... 1/2000" exhibition.
