Gold.

Gold is the most desirable metal known to humanity. Gold plays an important role in themes as protection, decoration, power, immortality, value and worship. Still this day, gold remains a valuable commodity, in many aspects.

This summer there will be an exhibition about this subject in Museum Catharijneconvent in Utrecht. The Dutch fashion designer and (performance) artist Aziz Bekkaoui will give his personal vision on gold for this exhibition. Aziz will enhance the museum's own collection with remarkable, thought-provoking, surprising, old, modern and contemporary works on loan. And, for the first time, the collection from Aziz himself, in which he frequently uses gold, will be on display.
