Exhibitions
Hypnotic art by Studio Drift at MUSAC
In 2007, artists Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta founded DRIFT, known for its installations, kinetic sculptures, and performances that explore the delicate relationship between nature, technology, and humanity. Studio Drift presents two of its most famous kinetic sculptures at MUSAC: Meadow and Amplitude .
The Museum of Contemporary Art of Castilla y León opens its summer program to the public with a temporary exhibition of Drift and the Secundino Hernández exhibition, which will be on view until October 19. Both exhibitions are curated by Álvaro Rodríguez Fominaya, director of MUSAC.
Drift's Amplitude work at the MUSAC
Amplitud/Pradera is Drift's first exhibition in a Spanish museum, always in parallel with innovative creations and questions that present the future, the past, but also the present. The two works that make up the exhibition are part of his studio, in which "we work fundamentally with space and how it functions. We work with the idea of how we want to feel and how the public feels about our works, and we try to find the idea of calm and light in the face of a daily life invaded by stress, in order to understand what can make us better."
Drift was founded by Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta, and is currently supported by 65 engineers, architects, and scientists. Two monumental, almost colossal works are on display in León, depicting the connection between human beings, nature, and technology. These creations oscillate between industrial design and art, and are to be exhibited in museums and galleries.
Amplitude is inspired by the infinite energy observed in nature, the endless flow of waves in the sea, and the sense of connection it produces in the viewer. Prairie, also from 2024, is a kinetic sculpture composed of mechanical flowers that open and close in a poetic choreography to respond to the viewer's presence.
