Lique Schoot: ‘In a world where everything revolves around appearance and perfection, I want to show myself in an honest way. In front of my camera, I can be completely myself. I can capture every moment, whenever and wherever I want, no matter how vulnerable’
‘In front of my camera, I can show moments that no one else could capture. It gives me complete freedom to be who I am. My real life is lived out in art’
Grijs! Art on Aging
January 24 – June 14, 2026
In a society obsessively seeking eternal youth, the Museum van Bommel van Dam presents the first major exhibition on aging, “Grey! Art on Aging,” starting January 24, 2026.
Featuring work by international contemporary artists, the exhibition explores the perspective and experience of aging in an aging society: from ageism and image formation to the beauty of the changing body and the relationship between generations.
Through photographs, videos, paintings, installations, and drawings by renowned artists, “Grey!” shows a rich picture of one of the most important challenges of our time.
Curators: Sjors Bindels and Mirjam Westen
Participating artists include Tyna Adebowale, Diana Blok, melanie bonajo, Marrie Bot, Margriet van Breevoort, GLUKLYA Natalia Pershina-Yakimanskaya, Jan van Herwijnen, Wen Hui, Pauline Curnier Jardin, Sam Jinks, Isadora Kosofsky, Marcos Kueh, Maria Lassnig, Hans Luiken, Margriet Luyten, Carmen Schabracq, Lique Schoot, Sjoerd Schunselaar, Joan Semmel, Jakop Slegt, Lily Van Der Stokker, Fiona Tan, Maurice Thomassen, Hendrik Valk en René Wong.
The selfie installation “42 Days with Hair Towels (2005-2025)” depicts moments spanning 20 years when the artist emerges from the shower with a towel wrapped around her head. She gradually ages in an unfiltered way.
