Studio Drift at the Stedelijk Museum

The Stedelijk Museum presents a Dutch duo, Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta, with Studio Drift. They met during their studies at the Design Academy in Eindhoven, where they graduated in 2005. Their fascination for nature, science fiction and technology comes together in their site-specific installations and interactive sculptures. During this exposition the relation between humans, nature and technology play a central role. Besides that they touch upon other themes such as conscious material use and reality and new realities.

About the exhibition

In addition to early designs, the exhibition features new, previously unseen work by the Dutch duo Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta – the founders of Studio Drift. Specially for the presentation at the Stedelijk, Studio Drift will create the largest-ever installation of Fragile Future. At the core of the installation will be Fragile Future Chandelier 3.5 (2012) acquired by the museum in 2015. Another highlight is Drifter, a floating concrete monolith measuring four by two by two meters.
