Special Guided Tour in the Cobra Museum
On Saturday the 1st of September 2012
13.30 – 14.00 (Dutch)
15.30 – 16.00 (English)

Cobra Museum
Sandbergplein 1
1181 ZX, Amstelveen

On the 1st of September I will give a guided tour through the installation The Importance of the Composed Domain, which was commisioned by the Cobra Museum of Modern Art. The starting point for this installation was formed by photographs showing Cobra artist Eugène Brands posing in the interior of his house while wearing a mask, and by reflection on the way Brands dealt with his interior during the years of German occupation. The tour has a performative character and apart from my own voice, also the voices of Eugène Brands’ daughter and of Hilde de Bruijn, curator at the Cobra Museum, are included.

There is a maximum of 12 participants per event. You can make reservations by sending an email to activiteiten[at]cobra-museum[dot]nl, subject: Esmé Valk. Please don’t forget to indicate the desired time frame. We kindly ask you to bring your camera or mobile phone with a camera function. Start at the reception desk.
