GUIDED TOUR HALL 2 | Thomas J Price. Matter of Place 

5 OCTOBER 2024 UNTIL 2 FEBRUARY 2025

Discover the first solo exhibition in the Netherlands of the British artist Thomas J Price (1981, London). With multidisciplinary work, spanning sculpture, performance, photography, and animation, Price constantly bends the conventions of material, scale, and presentation. The artist focuses on themes of representation and humanism and how we relate and respond to power structures within society. In this large-scale retrospective, the Kunsthal will be showing a wide variety of works from Price’s two-decade-spanning career: from the early performance ‘Licked’ (2001) to recent sculptures such as ‘A Place Beyond’ (2022).

GUIDED TOUR | HALL 1 DIVA

26 OCTOBER 2024 UNTIL 2 MARCH 2025

Immerse youselve in the world of the Diva at the Kunsthal. The exhibition DIVA celebrates the unprecedented power and boundless feminine creativity of iconic performers who have been challenging the status quo with their bravura and ambition. With over sixty looks and costume designs by world-famous designers – worn by people like Maria Callas, Josephine Baker, Marilyn Monroe, Tina Turner, Shirley Bassey, Cher, Elton John, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Björk, and Billie Eilish –, the exhibition shows how these divas have used their performing arts to push boundaries and make a lasting impact on society.
