Kunsthal KAdE Amersfoort The Netherlands
Kunsthal KAdE offers a programme of exhibitions and events in the field of contemporary art, architecture, design and the general visual culture of today. The opening exhibition was ‘Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass’, an international exhibition of items on loan from around the world, featuring work by 22 artists evoking ‘parallel worlds’ based on their own imaginations and using fabulous, fairy tale imagery.
The restaurant and shop are conspicuous features on the ground floor. The interior design of these two spaces – and that of the entrance area – is by Studio Makkink & Bey. It features a combination of sturdy supports and light, transparent top structures.
Martin Riebeek’s art work ‘Imagine Being There International’, acquired by KAdE to mark the occasion of the opening of the exhibition venue, is on show in the reception area.
