Perspectives on aging in an aging society

In a society obsessively seeking eternal youth, Museum van Bommel van Dam is creating the first major exhibition on old age. Until June 14, 2026, the art museum will present the group exhibition Gray! Art on Aging. Through the work of international contemporary artists, the exhibition explores the view and experience of aging in an aging society: from age discrimination and perception to the beauty of the changing body and the relationship between generations. In photographs, videos, paintings, installations and drawings by well-known artists, Grey! paints a rich picture of one of the most important challenges of our time.

Participating artists: Tyna Adebowale, Diana Blok, melanie bonajo, Marrie Bot, Margriet van Breevoort, Gluklya, Jan van Herwijnen, Wen Hui, Pauline Curnier Jardin, Sam Jinks, Isadora Kosofsky, Marcos Kueh, Maria Lassnig, Hans Luiken, Margriet Luyten, Carmen Schabracq, Lique Schoot, Sjoerd Schunselaar, Joan Semmel, Jakop Slegt, Lily van der Stokker, Fiona Tan, Maurice Thomassen, Hendrik Valk and René Wong.
