"A year ago De Pont purchased a large painting by Monster (then still called Marvin Gaye Chetwynd) that has papier-mâché salamanders on it. The current exhibition provides this striking work with a nice context. Her playful work, full of moral commitment, lies well beyond the museum's comfort zone, as it often shows more subdued, abstract work. A surprisingly rebellious choice, which definitely makes us want more." (Paola van de Velde, De Telegraaf) read more
 

"Love handles, blubber buns, flaccid abdominals, big breasts, tiny breasts and a whole lot of bare skin.

Matthijs Koene is considered one of today's most prominent players of the panpipes. His vision and manner of playing have expanded the technical and expressive capacities of the instrument. At De Pont he will play compositions by, among others, Calliope Tsoupaki and Steve Reich. The concert, held in collaboration with November Music, is free for visitors to the museum. 

What does a painting sound like? What does a sculpture have to do with music? And how would a composer translate images into sound? On this Thursday evening visitors to De Pont can hear for themselves how rising composers and musicians respond to these questions. Directed by the city's composer Anthony Fiumara in collaboration with Fontys Academy of Music and Performing Arts.
