As an underground art star, Andy Warhol was the antidote to the macho American postwar art scene who redefinded the language of painting, sculpture and film. This humanistic re-visioning explores his background as a child of an emigrant family, his ideas about death and religion and his queer perspective, revealing an artist who both succeeded and failed in equal measure and whose work marked a period of cultural transformation that still resonated today. Exploring Warhol´s knowing flirtatio...

Tot voor kort was er maar weinig aandacht voor Zeeuwse

meesters uit de Gouden Eeuw van de Nederlandse schilderkunst.

Het Stadhuismuseum Zierikzee laat in een reeks

boeken en tentoonstellingen zien hoe onterecht dat is.

Na een introductie op de Zeeuwse meesters uit de Gouden

Eeuw en een boek over het werk van Franchoys Ryckhals,

ligt de focus nu op de portretschilderkunst.

Zeeuwen richtten hun huizen graag in met schilderijen.

Voor de meer welgestelden vormden portretten een

In 'Before I Was Born', Tja Ling illustrates the story of her family’s journey from China to the Netherlands, between the 1930s and 1970s, in 14 interconnected pencil drawings. Out of respect and admiration for the way her (grand)- parents built a life for themselves with all the challenges they have had to face, migrating without any formal education or knowledge of the local language.

In Het Spart Manifest beschrijft kunstenaar, muzikant en auteur Steven Boers 20 regels die hij zichzelf gaandeweg oplegde om los te komen van creatieve frustraties en beperkingen. Het klinkt paradoxaal dat meer regels meer vrijheid creëren, toch is dit exact wat Het Spart Manifest doet. Het is een zelfhulpboek voor creatievelingen die niet tot scheppen komen vanwege perfectionisme, tijdsnood, faalangst of plaatstekort. Spart is een artistieke levenswijze, een nieuwe blik op wat kunst is en w...
