Playful Connect - Floris Hovers
Designer and artist Floris Hovers presents his fantasy world in the Grote Kerk Breda. A city that is constantly in motion, changing and growing. With this installation, Hovers shares his view of the urban environment, architecture, colour and the playful element that he believes is so lacking in today's society and the world around us.
The Grote Kerk Breda is a fitting location for his work. The monument has been in constant motion for centuries and continues to be so today. The church has been expanded, restored, and artists are adding new work; during exhibitions and soon permanently on the façade.
Meet the maker
Playful Connect can be viewed on both Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 September.
Floris will be present on Saturday to tell you more about Playful Connect in the Grote Kerk Breda. You are welcome to join us!
