To conclude the exhibition I challenge you to love me, a special musical performance will take place amidst the art. Especially for this occasion, cellist Frances-Marie Uitti wrote five compositions, inspired by Blok’s work and using grammatical, structural and emotional elements. The compositions are based on five exhibited works. The public is cordially invited to walk with her and listen to these extraordinary musical reflections. Stop by and experience this moving interaction between image and music.
