RCE + EST: when concrete, minimal and media art come together 

Exhibition view RCE + EST

Exhibtion view T. Raljich, B.Bonies, M. Hees, J.M.Voskuil and T.Burgering

14/ RCE + EST: when concrete, minimal and media art come together is the result of a collaboration between the Cultural Heritage Agency (RCE) and EST art foundation. Two collections are merged within this exhibition and engage in dialogue with each other. Three art movements are being observed through the same lens: art for art’s sake. All artworks only refer to themselves. No complex themes or narratives, what you see is what you get.

The artworks from the RCE and EST collections are spread through the exhibition space and illustrate how fluid the three central art movements are. Even though the artworks are the result of different processes, they share a similar non-referential message. 

The exhibition includes works from the following artists from the RCE collection: Bob Bonies, Peter Struycken, Jan van Munster, Mirja de Vries, Fred Wessels†, Toni Burgering†, Arie Berkulin, Tomas Rajlich, herman de vries, Maria Hees and Bert Schutter.

EST is represented by: Henriëtte van ’t Hoog, José Heerkens, Jan Maarten Voskuil, Jasper vander Graaf, Iemke van Dijk and Guido Winkler.
