Because They Think It Is a Good Idea at the New Museum, New York, and the Banff Centre, Canada, which set out to examine the conditions of contemporary art post-Conceptualism, the viability of particular media and materials, and the possibilities for art writing and criticism today.Verwoert's writings have appeared widely, including in the art journals Afterall, Metropolis, and springerin. He teaches at the Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam, and he has been a guest professor at the Royal College of Art, London, and Umea University, Sweden. As a curator, Verwoert organized The Malady of Writing: A project on text and speculative imagination at the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (2009) and cocurated Yes, No & Other Options for Art Sheffield 08 in England (2008). He has been a member of the advisory board of Munich Kunstverein.
