    Beste meneer/mevrouw,
    Ik ben een student aan Fontys Hogeschool voor de Kunsten aan de opleiding ABV. Ik ben opzoek naar interessante feitjes over de kunstenaar Thomas Schütte en/of over zijn werk “Große Geister”. De feitjes die bijvoorbeeld gaan over zijn maakproces, grootste interesse of een ondernomen actie zullen onderdeel uitmaken voor een educatief product dat wij studenten aan het ontwerpen zijn voor museum De Pont. Alvast bedankt!

    Met vriendelijke groet,
    Jacky Loekemeijer.

    Hallo Jacky, op onze website staat een tekst over Thomas Schütte die je kunt gebruiken. Daarnaast adviseer ik je om Schütte's eigen website te bekijken en literatuur over hem op te zoeken in een goede kunstbibliotheek. Daarvoor kun je naar Rotterdam komen, maar ook de bibliotheek en het archief van Stichting DePont zelf zal goede informatie over Schütte bevatten. Succes! Els
