AkzoNobel Art Foundation and AkzoNobel celebrate 'Common Ground' opening with gong strike

The AkzoNobel Art Foundation celebrates the opening of the ‘Common Ground’ exhibition in the AkzoNobel Art Space with a sounding of the gong by Thierry VanLancker, CEO AkzoNobel and Chairman of the Executive Board of the AkzoNobel Art Foundation, and Hester Alberdingk Thijm, Director AkzoNobel Art Foundation.

Recently the freely accessible exhibition 'Common Ground' was opened in the Art Space on the ground floor of the AkzoNobel Center on the Amsterdam Zuidas. The exhibition is about places where people meet, where people communicate with each other and how these places are represented and interpreted in art.

"We at AkzoNobel not only have a passion for paint, we are also passionate about art, so I am proud to be involved in the opening of this new exhibition," said CEO Thierry Vanlancker. "Art has a powerful ability to create a common ground, and the AkzoNobel Art Space plays an important role in connecting the creative and business side of the company with society," he added.
