Renee van Bavel THE MIRROR OF PEACE

Isola di San Giorgio Maggiore, Venezia

Description

The work of the Dutch artist Renee van Bavel deals with the core themes of peace, humanity, freedom, and democracy. The installation artwork THE MIRROR OF PEACE confronts the viewer with the insight that living in peace is not a matter of course, and that we must act consciously in order to maintain peace. This piece was already shown as part of the Biennale Arte 2022 in Venice as a project of the Draiflessen Collection in collaboration with the artist and the Abbazia di San Giorgio Maggiore – Benedicti Claustra Onlus. It then became a part of the Draiflessen Collection. 
The year 2023 marked the 375th anniversary of the Treaty of Westphalia in Münster and Osnabrück. In this context, THE MIRROR OF PEACE was made accessible to the public in Draiflessen Park.
