New New Babylon: Visions for Another Tomorrow
Saturday March 29 | 13.30 – 14.15 hrs | Dutch spoken | Lecture by Margriet Schavemaker
Margriet Schavemaker, director of Kunstmuseum Den Haag, will talk about the exhibition New New Babylon: Visions for Another Tomorrow. This exhibition presents the perspectives of leading and emerging visual artists, designers, thinkers, and activists from around the world. The starting point is the visionary project New Babylon (1956-1974) by Constant Nieuwenhuys, a key work in the Kunstmuseum Den Haag collection. In this project, he envisioned a society for ultimate creativity and the freedom to play. Contemporary creators show that Constant’s quest is far from complete. New New Babylon: Visions for Another Tomorrow highlights the power, beauty, and necessity of radical imagination.
New New Babylon: Visions for Another Tomorrow will be on view starting March 29 at Kunstmuseum Den Haag, showcasing works by artists such as Afra Eisma, Ambassade van de Noordzee, Emma Talbot, Harrison Pearce, Hella Jongerius, Moshekwa Langa, Kinke Kooi, Oscar Murillo, and Edwin Zwakman.
