Muziekcentrum Vredenburgh

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.
