CROSS BORDER
performance festival

You are very welcome to the performance festival CROSS BORDER. A full day with performances by different international artists. The program is organized and compiled by the different members of the Very Contemporary network with associated artists. Their actions range from a barrel-organ playing sound recordings from a solidarity protest, inter-media performances and a site-specific performance in the original kitchen of the former monastery. The Kunsthaus NRW Kornelimünster with its baroque decor and green outdoor facilities offers an attractive setting for the contemporary performative positions.

‘What the flag?! 2022

‘What the flag?!’ is a project in close collaboration with Greylight Projects in which artists design flags that are hoisted on flagpoles outside or inside the venues of the Very Contemporary network partners and in the public space of the centre of Heerlen (NL).


The Very Contemporary network partners invited artists (of their current exhibitions or as part of their collection) to design a print for the flag. A flag from each Very Contemporary venue will be raised at a different Very Contemporary venue to show the relationship between the venues in the network.


Participating artists: Alex Chevalier, Amit Goffer, Anaïs Touchot, Balta, Célie Falières, Claude Horstmann, Datu Arellano, Éloïse Alliguié, Emeline Galhac, Fran Hoebergen, Francesco Finizio, Irma Kalt, Jean Boumans, JM Crapanzano, Kristina Benjocki, Michael Kargl, Monty von Richthofen, Myriam Hornard, Vera Molnar.

About Very Contemporary

Very Contemporary is the network of contemporary art venues in the Meuse-Rhine Euregion.
The partners of Very Contemporary relate to each other through the language of contemporary art. The border region of Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany is their training ground.


Very Contemporary is as contemporary as the art presented here. The network, covering an area with a radius of 100 km, offers a wide variety of exhibitions and events, many of which can be admired within a day. You’re very welcome to discover our current exhibitions and events!
