Their Majesties Queen Máxima of the Netherlands and Queen Mathilde of the Belgians opened on 20 May 2015 at the Lange Voorhout in The Hague the exhibition ‘Vormidable Hedendaagse Vlaamse Beeldhouwkunst’ (Vormidable Contemporary Flemish Sculptures).
The oeuvres being exhibited hail from established as well as young upcoming artists. This exhibition is part of the Museum Beelden aan Zee (Sculptures by the Sea) and partly a manifestation entitled “BesteBuren” (Best neighbours). With this manifestation 20 years of cultural collaboration between The Netherlands and Flanders are being commemorated.
Main curator is the Flemish Stef van Bellingen of the cultural platform for contemporary art in Flanders (WARP). In total there are 35 artists exhibited. The exhibition encompasses classical human figures, sculptures of monumental size as well as miniatures.
Vormidable is exhibited until 30 August around the Lange Voorhout in The Hague as well as at the Museum Sculptures by the Sea in Scheveningen. Thereafter the exhibition shall also move to the Flemish Cultural House de Brakke Grond in Amsterdam and the City Hall De Pauw in Wassenaar.
The exhibition was made possible thanks to the cultural commitment of Royal Belgian Ambassador Chris Hoornaert and his staff.
