'De Stad' als Nieuw Babylon

2016
CID: 2229
Part of my work is humanising technique, like New Babylon (1959-1974) by Constant. According to Constant technique is not an alienating mode but a way to bring man closer to its nature. Homo ludens. After Constant's vision I tried to give the viewer an impression that New Babylon exists. I showed the work on a multi screen video. On the old black and white TV one could see the images of labour and the visions on technique from the past. On the projection one could see images of modern day, modern science fiction and last the image of New Babylon over Groningen.

Constant. New Babylon. To Us Liberty

2016
CID: 2006
An open city without borders that is capable of flowing out in all directions to allow its residents to develop as freely as they do flexibly. This fascinating utopia of architectural and lifeworld growth forms the starting point of Constant’s (1920–2005) lifelong project: New Babylon. Between 1956 and 1974, the Dutch painter and co-founder of the avant-garde movement COBRA worked on numerous models, paintings, drawings, and collages for the purpose of depicting his vision of the nomadic city of the future.

Constant. Spelen in Nieuw Babylon

2016
CID: 2008
Het nieuwste kinderkunstboek Constant – Spelen in Nieuw Babylon neemt kinderen mee in de wereld van Constant, de visionaire kunstenaar die in een grote, grijze stad woonde waar de mensen hard werkten en niemand tijd had om te spelen. Behalve Constant. Hij speelde de hele dag, op zijn gitaar en in zijn atelier. Hij maakte de meest fantastische schilderijen. De mensen keken echter niet naar zijn kunst. Ze werkten. Toen hij ging reizen ontmoette hij mensen die lachten en zongen en vierden dat elke dag de zon opkwam en weer onderging.
