Femke Moedt NIEUW New Babylon Opening 05.04 - 17.00
We increasingly realize that we are just a small part of a large and complex system. The idea that we are the 'crown of creation' is proving outdated. We are simply being swept along by forces over which we have little control. Humans are adept at creating and believing stories. However, the old myths of heroes and gods no longer fit today's reality; they are outdated and simplistic. We need new myths that reflect our changed needs, with new characters to help us cope with the rapidly changing world.
In NIEUW NEW BABYLON, artists display these new myths, as Constant Nieuwenhuis once described New Babylon as a dream: an illustration of a way of life in a supposed society.
