This Is How We Move

Levi van Veluw: Sanctum

Permanent collection, free entrance

Sanctum is a deep blue chapel that appears to float in between two floors. The work invites for contemplation while examining what the architecture of the ‘spiritual’ consists of.

 

Why do we assign value to objects, to the tangible, within the immaterial realm of faith?What is the basis of our devotion to altars, relics and icons?

In the colossal space of Het HEM Sanctum tests the boundary between an artistic and a spiritual experience.

 

Sanctum, is gebaseerd op Van Veluws langlopend onderzoek naar de spanning tussen geloof en het tastbare. Eerdere installaties die daaruit zijn voortgekomen zijn Sanctum bij Tenuta Dello Scompiglio, Vorno, Italië; Beyond Matter bij Ron Mandos galerie, Amsterdam, en The Chapel bij Rijksmuseum Twente.

 

Sanctum is kindly supported by Mondriaan Fonds and Outset.
