'To be an artist is to take people on an adventure, or to have an adventure yourself and hoping that others will follow' Klaas Kloosterboer.

In this second edition of the Conversations long-term programme, Kasteel Wijlre estate presents a solo exhibition by artist Chaim van Luit (1985, Heerlen). This exhibition focuses on a dialogue between Chaim van Luit and Jo Eyck (1929, Heerlen), art collector and founder of the country estate.
Kasteel Wijlre’s woods has two permanent artworks by Giuseppe Penone (1947, Garessio, IT): Pathway Tree and Bronze Tree (1997). This presentation in the Coach House features the original designs, moulds, photography and printed matter from the artwork’s realization.
Kasteel Wijlre estate offers several walking routes through its spectacular gardens. Every year, Kasteel Wijlre estate invites an artist, botanist, historian, architect or philosopher to develop a novel route through the garden. Each route tells its own story about the location.
Artist Oscar Lourens developed the Greyometer. With the help of a circle with a grayscale, the wanderer measures the different shades of grey in the garden, the buildings and the art works at the estate.
