In 2018, the installation of a red stained-glass window in one of the Oude Kerk's chapels sparked a fierce public debate and a years-long legal dispute. The commotion surrounding the work 'Anastasis' by artist Giorgio Andreotta Calò raised the question of how contemporary art fits into an ancient monument. Since then, every year, on the longest day, we talk about the relationship between heritage and art.
