"Brick, we see it every day. An ancient building material that occurs frequently in our environment for both the construction of walls and paving. The exhibition BAKSTEEN pays tribute to this material with work by more than fifty artists, architects and designers from the Netherlands and abroad. In new and existing work they show the beauty and expressiveness of fired stone. BAKSTEEN can be seen from 10 September in Kunsthal KAdE, the Elleboogkerk and via a tour of Amersfoort with new folly's and existing buildings."
Judith Van Meeuwen, exhibition curator.
