VIP Preview : Saturday 6 February at 5 pm, Opening : 6 - 9 pm

Komeet, Comet, Cométe, apres Rodin : Janneke Viegers
“This is a fascinating confrontation between city and nature,
between instinct, abstraction and reason,” Viegers explains.
“Shaving and painting the cow skins almost felt like acts of violence.
But that is exactly what we do to nature: we plaster and scar the purity of nature with our cities.
Cities are white moulds, sores rising from the earth and crushing nature.
How can we treat nature in such an immoral way!?”
Opening Speech by: Catherine van der Werff
