Exhibition 'On the edge of heaven: Visions' in Museum Krona
'On the Edge of Heaven: Visions' combines ancient religious art, medieval manuscripts and testimonies of visionaries from churches and monasteries with contemporary multimedia installations, wedding dresses, perfumes and paintings by leading female artists from the Netherlands and abroad. They each approach the theme of vision in their own way - sometimes subdued, other times exuberant. From profound installations which encourage self-reflection, to scent experiences and film clips to make you shiver and smile.
The exhibition 'On the Edge of Heaven: Visions' depicts how visionaries have given life a perspective for centuries. From Hildegard von Bingen, Bridget of Sweden and Teresa of Avila, to Madge Gill and Sister Gertrude Morgan. In testimonies and illustrations - both hopeful and timeless - the need and longing for a future, the prospect of a dream, ambition and accomplishment is integral to the search for meaning, purpose and destiny in life.
