In the Art Center Kroneman makes an installation where he includes the music presentation which he himself is also participating in. Kroneman is highly appreciated by the young artists in Holland. He has already made many exhibitions in many prominenf places. What is significant for Kroneman’s work is that he uses many ways of expressing his ideas.
