An exhibition celebrating the Quadricentennial of the Dutch discovery and settlement of the Hudson River and its environs, the Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art (HVCCA), in Peekskill, New York, will showcase contemporary Dutch installation art. The extraordinary works in the exhibition have a Dutch ‘soul’ which echoes the influence of Dutch architecture, sculpture, furniture and its unique landscape. These are some of the best younger installation artists, who have grown up in The Netherlands and/or who have spent many formative art years there, and are exhibited together in a dynamic and yet coherent format. What will be discovered is a discernable and distinctive link between the works of this extraordinary group of artists.
