Artist & Curator Tour: Annabelle Binnerts, Lennart Lahuis, Inge Weustink, Steven van Teeseling

We are pleased to invite you to a guided tour of the exhibition ‘Vrij Denken’ (Free Thinking), taking place as part of Amsterdam Art Week.

‘Vrij Denken’ explores how the ideas of Luther and Erasmus changed the world. Their clashing approaches — radical reform versus moderate dialogue — serve as a powerful lens to view today’s debates on free speech, authority, and spirituality. The exhibition confronts visitors with one central question: ‘How do you speak up?’

Highlighting this theme, contemporary artists Annabelle Binnerts (1995) and Lennart Lahuis (1986) present new works that center on the power of language. Binnerts responds to the historic manuscripts in the exhibition with a custom-made installation in the monumental hallway of the museum, while Lahuis presents a ‘language sculpture’ created as a weather vane, in collaboration with a traditional ornamental blacksmith.

During this special tour, the artists and curator will speak together about their work and the making of the exhibition.
