Jan Hendrix: Tierra Firme
19:00 - 01:00
Bonnefanten
The exhibition Tierra Firme (meaming mainland) offers an overview of the trajectory of the Dutch artist Jan Hendrix
(Maasbree) in which Hendrix refers to sighting the coastline; a mythical allusion to colonialism and to a revision of natural history. The exhibition gives a fascinating reflection of the role played by engravings and drawings in the representation of the first phase of globalisation.
