On Constant: New Babylon
In 1998, Kunstinstituut Melly (then named Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art) hosted an exhibition of the legendary Dutch artist Constant Nieuwenhuys (1920-2005). This comprehensive exhibition and accompanying publication focused on his decades-long project New Babylon (1959-1974). This autumn, Kunstinstituut Melly revisits this groundbreaking project: a vitrine display in its MELLY bookshop presents select materials from the exhibition’s archive; additionally, public programs have been co-organized as part of Constant 101 in collaboration with Het Nieuwe Instituut and Piet Zwart Institute of the Willem de Kooning Academy.
