Charles Vandenhove has collaborated with artists from the beginning of his career. A highlight are the panellings, designed by 11 artists, in the circulation rooms of the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire in Liège. The process for manufacturing the panelling was technically developed in collaboration with Simon Hantaï, who himself, not entirely satisfied with the result, did not grant permission for his design to be used. The unique prototypes of his design are, however, in the collection of the VANDENHOVE Centre.
The exhibition presents the CHU project with prototypes or designs for the panellings of Simon Hantaï, Sol LeWitt, Niele Toroni, Claude Viallat and Marthe Wéry, combined with work by these and the other participating artists from the VANDENHOVE art collection.
