Exhibition 'Highlights' in Museum Voorlinden
The artworks on permanent display in museum Voorlinden cannot be described – one must undergo them.
Swimming Pool
Leandro Erlich designed his Swimming Pool especially for Voorlinden. He gave his work all the characteristics of a real swimming pool, including the recognizable pool blue on the walls, the typical lamps and even a real stairway through which you seem to be able to descend. And yet as a visitor you can walk on the bottom without getting wet.
Couple under an Umbrella
Ron Mueck makes hyper-realistic human figures that he creates on the smallest detail. They seem to be flesh and blood, but because of their scale, they are not from our world.
Maurizio Cattelan
The museum has in built-in elevator that comes up just a little bit higher than a grown-up’s ankle, on a scale of 1:7.5. The lift cabin disappears to an unknown destination in a building that does not have any storeys.
Skyspace
James Turrell designed a Skyspace especially for museum Voorlinden. It consists of a space with a square hole in the roof, through which the viewer looks directly upwards and sees the air as never before.
Open Ended
The sculpture Open Ended by the American artist Richard Serra weighs almost 216 tonnes. The corten steel work is 4 metres high, 18 metres long and 7 metres wide. This is a piece full of contrasts: both heavy and elegant, industrial and organic, stately and playful, convex and concave.
