Nest at Down The Rabbit Hole: Arcadia

For the past five years, Nest has provided art programming at music festival Down the Rabbit Hole. For the coming edition, 18 contemporary painters have created a 32 metre long and six metre high gesamtkunstwerk called ‘Arcadia’ – Garden of Earthly Delights.

Between the green hills in Beuningen there will soon be a 192m2 patchwork of utopian images. The spherical installation shows a garden with artworks as swirling plants, a modern-day Garden of Eden where one allows oneself to be seduced by lust and pleasure, by fantasies and the supernatural. It is a place where an energized crowd of human silhouettes and mythical creatures moves between day and night, between rules and ecstasy. Arcadia – Garden of Earthly Delights depicts a world that celebrates the absurd, the exuberant and the imaginary.
