During TEFAF: additional program of films, lectures, workshops and 60-minute dinners.
Extended opening hours: Monday–Sunday noon–7pm
Works by contemporary artists enter into a dialogue with two beautifully adorned Books of Hours. Medieval aureoles echo in the performance of William Hunt. Droplets of sweat slowly falling to the floor in Oscar Santillan’s A Hymn recall Mary’s suffering. Artists search for a forgotten soul, a safe refuge, a new relation to the body and the senses. And thus they prove the surprising spiritual correspondences between early modern art and the art of today.
