With 'Gossip: Magic and Marginalisation', Kasteel Wijlre estate brings together contemporary art and regional history in a layered exhibition exploring exclusion, connectedness and imagination. Taking South Limburg as its point of departure, the exhibition examines how historical processes of marginalisation – such as the witch persecutions of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries – continue to resonate in the present day.

The Dutch artist Vibeke Mascini presents 'Daisychain', her solo exhibition in the Coach House at Kasteel Wijlre estate. Mascini, whose work was previously featured in 'We Live Here Too', presents new work in which she explores the relationship between energy and memory.

Since autumn 2024, the ground floor of the former Eyck family residence, a castle from 1652, has been made accessible for visitors. Here you get an impression of the way in which art and the daily life of the Eyck couple, who moved from Heerlen to Wijlre in 1980, were intertwined. Jo and Marlies Eyck passed away in 2021 and 2023 respectively. The 'Gesamtkunstwerk' Kasteel Wijlre estate was their life's work, in which they harmoniously integrated contemporary art, architecture and nature with daily life. The ground floor of the Castle offers a glimpse into what that daily environment looked like.
