Published with an exhibition at Kunsthal KAdE in Amersfoort, the Netherlands, ‘Abrasive Paradise’ features 24 artists who examine the current state of our society. Modernism in the 20th century dreamed of achieving a vision of a makeable society, an “earthly paradise”. Now we are facing a world full of lurking dangers and hidden disasters due to climate change, the direct result of humans’ invasive behaviour in the natural order. Through installations and paintings ? including works by LOLA Landscape Architects, Philip Vermeulen, Simphiwe Ndzube, Hadassah Emmerich, Marcel Pinas, Marina Rheingantz, and Erwin Olaf ? the exhibition lends a physical character to this experience.
