SALON/KANT
From June 15th through August 18th, the fourteenth edition of SALON/ will take place in the city of Amsterdam. Against the backdrop of the 400th birthday of the Amsterdam canals, SALON/ takes kant as the central theme for its fourteenth edition.
The Dutch word kant has multiple translations e.g.: lace, border or side.
This summer SALON/ rediscovers and redefines the Dutch word kant. SALON/ investigates kant as a bridge between design and society, reliving its history and addressing its contemporary value. The craftsmanship and cultural heritage of kant form the central focus of interest within the exhibition. Alongside historical cultural expressions of kant. SALON/ exhibits a more recent discourse through the presentation of stimulating modern innovations.
SALON/KANT highlights cultural backgrounds and stories. The main focus of this edition lies on Dutch lace, bridging a history from the 17th century to present day examples. In addition, SALON/Kant presents a unique collection of Russian lace. Cut short: in terms of content, the fourteenth edition of SALON/ is rich, intriguing and offers a special experience.
We welcome you again to join us on a dynamic art route through the historic city centre of Amsterdam. We take you with us in the development of ideas, materials, techniques, cultural heritage and craftsmanship.
For this edition SALON/ collaborates with Landelijke Organisatie Kant Kunst (LOKK) to build a connection between tradition, innovation, craftsmanship, design, heritage and culture.
SALON/KANT opened on the 15th of June at 11.00 at the Amsterdam Museum with a lace-making demonstration by LOKK.
