← Very Contemporary

Art does not need a common language, it is international by nature.

Very Contemporary is a network of contemporary art institutions in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine. The partners of Very Contemporary relate to each other through the language of contemporary art. The border region of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany is their common playing field.

Very Contemporary is as contemporary as the art presented here. The network, which covers an area with a radius of 100 km, offers a wide variety of exhibitions and events, many of which can be visited within one day. You are invited to discover the current exhibitions and events!

Very Contemporary is sponsored by the participating institutions and the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia.

WONDERTOURS: The artist project

In 2021 Very Contemporary invites contemporary artists to highlight the specificities of the Euregio Meuse-Rhine. Professional artists who have a connection to the region are invited to produce an artwork or event with themes such as border crossing, distance, barriers, language, landscape, cultural/industrial heritage, travel, cycling, history and the future.

During a research phase, the artist*s explore the specifics of the region. During this time, they collaborate with at least two of Very Contemporary's venues. In the fall of 2021, the artist*s will present their final results to the public in the Euregio.

What the flag?!

is a project by Greylight Projects (NL) in which artists design flags that are hoisted on flagpoles at the venues of Very Contemporary network partners. The VC network partners invite artists (from their current exhibitions or as part of their collection) to design a print for the flag. A flag from each VC venue will be flown at another Very Contemporary venue to show the relationship between all venues in the network.
