Creating an architectural framework to house 20 contemporary art installations relating to the iconic 15th century painting Garden of Earthly Delights
The exhibition Garden of Earthly Delights sees over 20 international artists using the space of the garden as a metaphor for the state of the world, in an exploration of the complexities of our chaotic present.
The exhibition’s combining of the paradisical and the catastrophic takes its inspiration from Hieronymus Bosch’s 15th-century triptych The Garden of Earthly Delights, which also provides the exhibition its title. A version of the central panel of the painting dating from 1535 to 1550, created by the school of Hieronymus Bosch, provides a point of departure for the exhibition.
