Statement:
This spring, the Kunstmuseum Den Haag provides a platform for visionary new perspectives. In New New Babylon: Visions for Another Tomorrow, leading and emerging visual artists, designers, collectives and activists from around the world share their views of the future. Where do we come from, where are we now and where do we want to be?///
The starting point is a key work in the museum's collection, Constant Nieuwenhuys's New Babylon (1956-74). In this visionary project, Constant envisioned a society for maximum creativity and freedom for play.
This thought-provoking exhibition presents dozens of monumental works that demonstrate the power, beauty and necessity of a radical imagination. It features projects by 25 makers from around the world, including recently acquired works by Steffani Jemison, Moshekwa Langa, Randa Mirza and Emma Talbot.
The exhibition is accompanied by an extensive public programme, organised in partnership with Leiden University.
