We are excited to announce a new exhibition at Dyckman Farmhouse Museum; Spot P! by Kasper Klop, opening October 29, 2026.
Peter Stuyvesant is often credited with laying the foundations for what became New York City. Yet, if we take a closer look, he was a trader and owner of enslaved Africans in the United States. In collaboration with his long-time artistic partner Morwenna Spagnol, and videographer Deron Gopie, Dutch artist Kasper Klop and the team created a multiple choice survey investigating how much New Yorkers really know about Stuyvesant.
Spot P! at Dyckman Farmhouse Museum showcases New Yorkers’ fascinating replies to the survey, their knowledge (or lack thereof), views, astonishment, powerlessness, indifference, outrage and nuanced responses that grappled with holding multiple contradictions at once.
The opening reception for Spot P! will take place on October 29, 2026 from 6-8pm. Register here: https://buff.ly/9EblLG7
This program is supported by The Holland Society of New York and DutchCultureUSA, a program of the Kingdom of the Netherlands in the United States.
