René! I’m still standing in the Grote Kerk Breda

The centuries-old tombstone Le Squelette takes center stage: a raw tribute to René van Chalon, the first Prince of Orange-Nassau who died young. Around this monument, twelve artists showcase their work. From classical paintings to modern installations. And to complete the vibe, Pepijn Lanen (better known as Faberyayo from De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig) has selected a matching song for each artwork.

A quick trip back in time: in the exhibition, you'll see round portraits (tondi) of René and his wife Anna. These mini-paintings were actually the original Tinder profiles: they traveled through Europe to show potential partners to each other. Coming specially from the Rijksmuseum and the Royal Library, these portraits and a booklet full of love poems will be brought to Breda.

Besides René and Anna's ancient love story, there is also room for a futuristic romance. Artist Alicia Framis married a hologram and shows how love and loneliness might look in our time.

You will also see art that has never been displayed before.

• Victor Sonna: Sunflower to Heaven – 52 portraits depicting the chaos in your mind.

• Laurence Aëgerter: a fluorescent wall tapestry about invisible energy.

• Margit Lukács & Persijn Broersen: Tears of Breda, a memorial monument made with real tears.

René! I’m Still Standing is not just about viewing art. It is also a place to connect. Think of special events for young people, collaborations with creative partners and… the Offline Club. During the first event in Breda, the Grote Kerk will transform into a Digital Detox Dome. A morning without screens, but with real connections and new energy.
