KAAP
Exhibition (not only) for Children
Fort Ruigenhoek, Utrecht
Kaap is an exhibition of contemporary art consisting of new works made for the whole family. The exhibition will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on every weekend from 29 May to 10 July.
Artworks by artists from all over the world
The artistic management of this year’s Kaap was the work of Tiong Ang, artist and creator. He invited thirteen artists to take part. Each of them made a new work specially for Kaap. During the exhibition, each work will have an attendant guide to answer any questions about it. The idea of Kaap is that artists can find inspiration in the challenge of making work for children and in bringing out the essence of their art with absolute clarity. The work made for Kaap typically invites its public not just to look but also to take part.
Artists: Frank Koolen, Pilvi Takala, Yeondoo Jung, Birthe Leemeijer, Praneet Soi, Tintin Wulia, Rini Hurkmans and Hans Scholten, Erica van Loon, Mella Jaarsma and Nindityo Adipurnomo, Yoko Semaya and Lyndsey Housden
The fort location
Kaap is pure adventure, a trip of discovery through the bunkers and the greenery of Fort Ruigenhoek. The historic fort, which forms part of the 17th century New Dutch Waterline, lies on an island surrounded by open countryside. The bunkers and other buildings lie half-buried in grass, shrubs and trees.
Stichting Storm
Kaap is an initiative of Stichting Storm. This foundation works closely with artists and theatre makers on projects aimed at a youthful audience. Among other things Storm organizes the Tweetakt theatre festival in Utrecht.
