Museum Helmond - Kunsthal Helmond is a modern art museum located in the city of Helmond, Netherlands. The museum offers a diverse collection of contemporary art, including paintings, sculptures, and installations. Visitors generally appreciate the well-curated exhibitions that showcase both local and international artists. The museum's location in a former textile factory adds an interesting architectural element to the experience.
Many reviewers comment positively on the changing exhibitions, which keep the content fresh and engaging for repeat visitors. The museum's focus on modern and contemporary art is praised for bringing innovative and thought-provoking pieces to the region. Some visitors note that the museum is relatively small, which can be seen as both a positive (easily manageable in a short visit) and a negative (limited scope of exhibitions).
The staff is often described as friendly and knowledgeable, enhancing the overall experience for visitors. However, some reviewers mention that more extensive information about the artworks in English would be beneficial for international visitors.
The museum's integration with the city's cultural scene is appreciated, with some exhibitions extending beyond the museum walls into public spaces. This approach helps to make art more accessible to the general public.
While many visitors find the museum interesting and worthwhile, some feel that the appeal may be limited for those who are not particularly interested in modern art. Additionally, a few reviewers suggest that the ticket price could be more affordable, especially considering the museum's size.
Overall, Museum Helmond - Kunsthal Helmond provides a solid cultural experience for art enthusiasts and those interested in contemporary art, though it may not cater to all tastes.
Karin Hanssen – Returning the gaze
De Antwerpse Karin Hanssen (1960) schildert niet alleen, maar noemt zich ook feministisch activiste. Dat zie je terug in de manier waarop zij vrouwen op haar schilderijen in beeld brengt. Past wel een beetje bij het recente boekenweekthema ‘de moeder, de vrouw’. Is de vrouw inderdaad de zorgende moeder of mag zij ook nog een eigen bestaan hebben waarin ze zich ontplooit met alle talenten die ze in zich heeft? We mogen toch hopen dat die traditionele rolverdeling tot het verleden behoort. Hanssen laat zien hoe ons vrouwbeeld in de afgelopen decennia werd bepaald door de tijd en cultuur waarin we leven. In haar werk geeft ze de vrouw de plaats die haar toekomt, ze haalt haar als het ware uit de anonimiteit. Afgezien van Hanssens filosofie is haar werk gewoon mooi om naar te kijken. Ze doet sterk denken aan Edward Hopper hoewel haar coloriet een wat donkerder ondertoon heeft. Een aangename kennismaking met deze Belgische kunstenaar in de Kunsthal in Helmond, nog te zien tot 10 juni.
