Location: Zandvoorts Museum – Louis Davidsstraat 19, 2042 LS Zandvoort
Period: June 6, 2026 – October 11, 2026
With Sculpture Now!, the Zandvoorts Museum provides contemporary artists with a platform to showcase new sculptural work within the context of the museum and its heritage collection. Amidst the stories of Zandvoort — from fishing village to international seaside resort — space is created for contemporary sculpture that connects the past and the present.
For this edition, artist Marianne Lammersen presents the installation ‘That Which Remains Afloat’, a new sculptural work in which she reflects on the transition between the Belle Époque and the period of Reconstruction in Zandvoort. In this historical transitional period, she examines how elegance, loss, and recovery coexist and how these traces can still be felt today.
Lammersen works with contrasting materials such as glass, concrete, and steel. In her installations, she explores the tension between nature and the human-constructed world. Themes such as growth, order, decay, and economic progress recur throughout her work. Her artisanal and slow working method forms a conscious counterweight to the speed of contemporary society.
Within Sculpture Now!, her work is given a central place on a three-by-three-meter podium, in the middle of the museum’s collection. There, a dialogue arises between her installation and the history of Zandvoort. It balances between harmony and chaos and invites visitors to slow down, reflect, and gain awareness within a landscape and community that are constantly in motion.
