Want to jump into some controversy?

The current-day artistic interventions and contemporary art projects in the Oude Kerk have not always been greeted with praise. Especially in the cases of Anastasis and Poems for Earthlings, there was a lot of controversy leading up to the exhibition. Additionally, a permanent work by Calo — a red window in the Heilig grafkapel — has even been met with lawsuits. These projects are examples of instances in which contemporary heritage (both tangible and intangible) collides with historical heritage, and conflict emerges. To learn more about these topics, please take a look at Anastasis, Poems for Earthlings, or the highlights of the Symposium – Here Is Where We Meet: Art and Resistance.
