‘Landscape Crafting’ - interdisciplinary exhibition about the journey of sand: from minuscule grains to massive structures. The work of architects Holly Dale and Willie Vogel, together with artist Lara Almarcegui, tells the story of the ongoing transformation of the Dutch landscape.

*Extra open on Sun durinmg RAW

From minute grains to massive buildings – in the exhibition Landscape Crafting, you follow the journey of sand. Every day in the Netherlands, vast quantities of natural raw materials are moved. Sand is the most commonly extracted material, ultimately used as the construction basis for our streets, squares and buildings. Through sand, the story of the ongoing transformation of the Dutch landscape is depicted.

In their research, architects Holly Dale and Willie Vogel explore sand as a raw material, construction material, architectural element, and its poetic representation. The exhibition brings together multiple perspectives – from the concrete to the abstract – where sand reappears in ever-changing forms. The stories are depicted through installations, photographs, film, audio and material studies.
