BRICK | BRICK

Brick, we see it every day. An ancient building material common in our environment for both the construction of walls and pavements. A remarkable number of visual artists feel an affinity with brick. At Kunsthal KAdE, several artists display its aesthetic and symbolic aspects. The exhibition BAKSTEEN pays tribute to the material with work by more than fifty artists, architects and designers from the Netherlands and abroad. In new and existing work, they show the beauty and expressiveness of baked stone.

Especially for the exhibition, Kunsthal KAdE has asked seven makers to come up with a folly made of brick: Floris Alkemade, ATMosphere (Antal Bos, Thijs Trompert, Marisja Smit), Olivier Goethals, André Pielage, Jan Poolen, Office Winhov and Baukje Trenning.

BAKSTEEN is on display through Jan. 8 at Kunsthal KAdE, the Elleboogkerk and with folly's throughout the city of Amersfoort.
