COME ALIVE is a large-scale exhibition about 'the power of pleasure' in Het Nieuwe Muntgebouw in Utrecht. With installations, films, games, sound and performances, more than 45 artists pull out all the stops to make our bodies the first and most important gatekeepers. COME ALIVE shares love without reason to bring new values to life. Together we will find a way out of the hyper-commercialization of romantic love and sensuality, using pleasure as a soft weapon.
COME ALIVE, with more than 45 international artists, can be visited every Wednesday - Sunday from 12:00 to 20:00 until 31 July in Het Nieuwe Muntgebouw (Muntkade 20), Utrecht.
