Opening in August or September
August
Krijn
de Koning 'Church Warden' of De Nieuwe Kerk.
This
year is the 600th
anniversary
of De Nieuwe Kerk in Amsterdam, now an important venue for temporary
exhibitions. Henceforth, each autumn, the building will be given over
to a 'Church Warden,' a leading artist or designer invited to create
therein “a personal vision” inspired by the space and its
history. Contemporary Dutch artist Krijn de Koning is the first to be
given this unique opportunity, to which he has responded by making a
gigantic installation allowing visitors to enjoy the architectural
ambience from the same height as the stained-glass windows.
