From 2 October 2011, Museum de Fundatie in Zwolle presents the exhibition
'More light' . The main idea behind 'More light' is that, in modern art, a concealed 'sublime tradition' exists, the roots of which lie in the late 1960s.
In More light, beauty and danger go hand-in-hand. The works show how the striving
for beauty and edification results in works for which the artists take great risk. Sometimes even with their lives.

In his In Search of the Miraculous, for example, Bas Jan Ader undertakes a conscious and solitary confrontation with the sea and nature, from which he does not return. In the works of Olafur Eliasson, Tacita Dean, David Claerbout and Guido van der Werve we also see that the combination of nature and the striving for beauty can entail danger and the loss of one's self.

Don't miss it ! The video works of David Claerbout and Guido van der Werve are sheer amazing.
