Exhibition and Book Launch: Felicia van Deth (1931–2015)
Exhibition and Book Launch by Felicia van Deth
Guido van Deth Puppet Theater is the focus of a new exhibition, featuring Felicia van Deth—an HKK member and, for many years, the driving force behind the theater—in the leading role. The exhibition is being held in conjunction with a book about her life, compiled by Marianne Rehorst based on conversations with Felicia herself. On display are props, puppets, and photographs that played an important role in the puppet theater.
Book launch Street Saints Venice, Street Saints Venice, Santi di Strada Venezia
Because of the high level of interest, not everyone who wanted to attend the first book presentation on June 30 was able to do so; therefore, a second presentation will be held on Friday, September 25.
Maarten van Noort explores all aspects of the trilingual *Street Saints of Venice*.
Street Saints of Venice is a unique photo book. Maarten van Noort photographed all of Venice’s street shrines. The book devotes a full page to each of the more than one hundred most beautiful ones, while nearly one hundred others are depicted in small format. An introductory essay provides a cultural-historical interpretation of the phenomenon and relates it to a number of well-known 18th-century cityscapes by artists such as Canaletto. In addition, the book serves as a unique walking guide for exploring the city on foot.
On September 25, the book will be available at a discounted price of €25.
Admission is free. Please let us know in advance if you plan to attend by emailing mnoort@xs4all.n
