Arcadia! brings together various artists to explore landscapes as spaces where humanity seeks to shape and idealise nature. Drawing on myths, this exhibition reflects on the tension between beauty, control, and nature's resistance. Just as the artists mold their material, gardens have long been crafted to represent Arcadian dreams–yet behind this creation lies a history of conquest and transformation. The question at hand is wether this equilibrium still stands or if we have passed the tipping point of where a reversal and disequilibrium in favour of nature is needed.
