A Guided Visit to
the van Doesburg Exhibition
Join us on Saturday, April 30, for a guided visit of the van Doesburg exhibition, one of this year’s Europalia activities.
Travel back to the beginning of the twentieth century with Theo van Doesburg and inhale the revolutionary atmosphere of the avant-garde in the exhibition Theo van Doesburg: A New Expression of Life, Art and Technology. Having founded the art movement De Stijl in the Netherlands with Piet Mondrian in 1917, van Doesburg set off across Europe to promote their abstract visual language internationally. In Paris, he encountered the art of the Dadaists and began writing Dadaist poetry himself. In Weimar, he presented his new awareness of beauty to the Bauhaus architects. He travelled around Europe and made his pioneering visual language appear not only in paintings, but also in buildings, furniture and interiors.
Our guide will once again be the excellent Lieve De Jonghe.
Please note that this visit is limited to 15 people and is a members-priority event. Non-members may sign up as of April 15.
After the visit, those who wish to may join us for a drink or a coffee in the neighborhood.
