A number of times a year this accommodation is used for exhibitions of visual artists from home and abroad. The next exhibition will take place during the weekends from 29 September to 27 October 2019 and during the weekdays by appointment (tel: 0651852263) The exhibiting artist is Andre Joosten.
The paintings of André Joosten show the imperfection and vulnerability of man, a toiling Sisyphus, a demented father, crying babies, but also the primal power of the mask-wearing Wildeman. His work; drawings and paintings on paper – delicate and vulnerable – are held together by crepe-tape. The paper is pinned to the wall with steel push pins. See Slide Show below
