Charles Esche has been director at the Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven since 2004. He takes a critical approach, placing the museum at the heart of the city and face to face with the contradictions that structure it. Hence his special interest in collections, insofar as they constitute a problematic memory. Here he considers the museum’s unconscious.
