Next year leading Dutch art journal Kunstschrift celebrates its 40th anniversary – good reason for Kunsthal KAdE to join with the magazine in mounting an exhibition about the fascinating ways by which works of art have been created over the centuries. The creative process has been a strong focus of editorial attention in Kunstschrift’s theme issues for many years. The exhibition will reflect that interest by presenting an amazing range of artworks that throw particular light on materials and techniques, craftsmanship, ideation and studio practice. Tribute to the creative process First and foremost, therefore, ‘Well Made’ will be a tribute to the creative process. Many different aspects of that process, such as inspiration, craftsmanship, materials, techniques and the intimate relationship between head and hand, will be examined on the basis of paintings, drawings, sculptures, photographs and films from various countries, movements and periods in Western art history.
