I spy with my eye... Love in the Frans Hals museum

11/2/2016

The Frans Hals Museum houses a world-reknown collection of golden age paintings, in the beautiful old city centre of Haarlem. Its latest exhibition on details and hidden hi/stories (called Ik zie, ik zie, or I spy...) is right up my street.

Over the last months I have researched, prepared and organised tours at the Frans Hals Museum in Haarlem: interactive tours that focus on details in paintings, and what these details tell us about 17th-century Haarlemmers and ourselves, as 21st-century viewers.
Next Sunday 14 February <3 I will give another two tours as part of the exhibition programme I spy  (2pm and 3pm). I will talk about non-romantic love in the Museum's collection: love for the unknown, love for what is lost, love for what one sees every day. For die-hard romantics and lovesick sceptics alike.

I was excited to see that the Museum has been collecting Likes on Facebook: 242 and counting!
There's more on the Frans Hals Museum's website.

Happy (non-romantic) Valentine to you! <3

    What makes me tick?

    I am interested in the links between art and society. I never doubted that art can help us gain insight into societal issues. I like to work on projects that confirm this. 
    That art is for everybody. And if art makes your head crunch, if it makes you laugh out loud or shed a tear, it is definitely good stuff.
