War and creating beauty, both characteristic of human nature, come together in the bunker exhibitions, as an inseparable whole.
Bunker v192 is part of the Atlantik Wall. The defense line was built in 1943 during WWII along the Atlantic and Dutch coast by the Germans.
The bunker is well hidden in the Westbroekpark, on the grounds of Waterkant, a rowboat rental/teahouse, better known to many people from The Hague as ‘de bootjes’.
Since 2002, we have been organizing exhibitions in its bunker. The bunker is located in the middle of a beautiful Rose Garden. This makes it a surprising location to showcase art, in an environment where the visitor might not expect it at first.
Within the exhibitions in the bunker, the emphasis is on audiovisual installations inspired by the physical characteristics of the building. The dark spaces are excellent for projecting images and presenting light installations, even during the day. In addition, the conditions of the space are not very suitable for exhibiting, for example, works on paper.
