BRUCE HAINLEY TO ANNETTE WEISSER Houston, September 2, 2026
The latest exchange between our two columnists-cum-pen pals, Bruce Hainley and Annette Weisser, begins with a letter dedicated to Wim T. Schippers, who cofounded the short-lived A-dynamische Groep, or A-dynamic Centre, artist collective with Ger Van Elk and Bob Wesdorp in 1961. Schippers died on the very day that Hainley landed in Amsterdam from Houston during his most recent trip to Europe. While Schippers’s conceptual artistic works and TV productions are quite well known in the Netherlands, they do not receive the attention they deserve in the international art world, as Hainley points out in his letter to Weisser. Since we are also privy to their correspondence, we too can enjoy a brief introduction to a body of work that owes its current appeal not least to its heartwarming humor.
