About the piece

In 1998, Berend Strik (1960)  designed ‘Electric Church’ for Muziekcentrum Vredenburg in Utrecht, now  TivoliVredenburg. Berend conceived a niche as a tribute to Jimi Hendrix, who  meant a lot to music. The Jimi Hendrix niche is a contemporary variation on the  composer portraits that are abundant in TivoliVredenburg’s collection.  Because the niche, then still in a public space, was nearly demolished by  Hendrix fans, a fence designed by Strik was installed in front of it.
 
The work stands backstage, thus it is only available to performing artists  or, sometimes, by appointment.
