Arcadian Dreams, Creatures from a World Reborn

Enter a surreal world where nature and technology meet imagination at Arcadian Dreams: Creatures from a World Reborn. 

The Academic Heritage, History & Art team is thrilled to invite you to visit Arcadian Dreams: Creatures from a World Reborn, an exhibition showcasing the surreal works of artist Margriet van Breevoort. This event celebrates Van Breevoort's first solo exhibition and the TU Delft Art Collection’s acquisition of Pangoled in its Natural Habitat, a striking piece that explores themes of nature, evolution, and post-humanism. 

For this exhibition, Opperclaes has transformed the ECHO building into a world where van Breevoort’s creatures make us rethink the relationship between humans, technology, and our future on Earth.
