Today, October 20th, Museo Reina Sofia will present to all media New Babylon exhibition at 12.00 pm in Sabatini's building. It's organized by Gemeentemuseum Den Haag withFondation Constant and RKD (Netherlands Institute for Art History) collaboration.

This exhibit will show how Constant(Constant Anton Nieuwenhuys, Ámsterdam, 1920 - Utrecht, 2005) imagined 'his' nomadic city of the future, his most symbolic project.

He worked for almost twenty years onmaquettes, paintings, drawings and collages that showed his vision of his ideal city - a complex, wide-ranging labyrinth that would turn the whole world into a single network. The exhibition offers around 150 works, 65 of them from Gemeentemuseum Den Haag, and complemented by a wealth of reconstructions, archive material and historic film footage.

Attendees of Constant's Press Conference will be Manuel Borja-Villel, Director of Museo Reina Sofia; Benno Tempel, director of Gemeentemuseum Den Haag; Doede Hardeman and Laura Stamps curators of Gemeentemuseum Den Haag; and Trudy Nieuwenhuys-van der Horst, Constant's widow and President of Fondation Constant.
