This weekend we finally went to Limburg (South of the Netherlands] to see Basquiat’s exhibition at SCHUNCK. “SCHUNCK” situated in Heerlen at the heart of the Euroegion, is a new multidisciplinary institute devoted to contemporary visual art, architecture, music, literature and film. Which contains all imaginable crossovers between the disciplines. Manifested by means of presentations, collections and educational projects”.
Perfect place for this exhibition but… it was so boring. The person who’s designed it didn’t do much. I was so disappointed. The designer could go for anything here to show Basquiat’s works in unique way but ended up making just as normal presentation as possible and situated few “window holes” in the walls to show some pictures of NYC [Time Square Exhibition].[Besides Basquiat’s works you can see collective works of other artists of NYC’s scene]. You can check it yourself until June 2nd. I’m curious your opinion.
Heerlen is also famous for its graffiti/murals placed around the city. We had a nice walk follow some instructions from https://streetartheerlen.nl/ you can also check it out while waiting for a rain. Next stop was Maastricht and its unique vibe and craft beer cafe’s and one small micro brewery which we had a chance to visit.
