Last week Friday Fossil Free Culture NL launched its first performance - titled 'Beyond Insanity' - in the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, illustrating how the sponsorship by Shell intoxicates the arts (see pictures and video ).




Four men dressed as hospital patients walked into the entrance hall of the museum. At the background, a large screen displayed the title of the temporary exhibition: “On the Verge of Insanity: Van Gogh and His Illness”. One patient stood attached to an intravenous infusion, a black substance intoxicated his body. The second patient suffered from heavy petroleum poisoning drooling oil out of his month, another couldn’t hold his black tears totally depressed by the toxic cultural partnership, while the fourth wandered hopeless around the hall, dripping oil out of his wrists, after a suicidal attempt.

Through the “Partners in Science” program, the Van Gogh Museum allows Shell to create the illusion that the company contributes to society positively. While in reality, the extraction of fossil fuels destroys ecosystems, undermines the livelihoods and well-being of communities, and is the primary driver of lethal climate disruption.
