This following artwork was not completely new to me, because I had seen it before two years ago at the Textile Biennial Rijswijk in 2023, but again it made me stop and look at it in detail.

Very impressive, yet again!

Constant and his views of the future, a New Babylon.

New Babylon is an anti-capitalist city perceived and designed in 1959-74 as a future potentiality by visual artist Constant Nieuwenhuys.

... if only the Kunstmuseum would dedicate the entire museum to his work!
