The Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam presented the first solo of the succesful Dutch duo Lonneke Gordijn and Ralph Nauta (Studio Drift). Studio Drift Coded Nature became the highest valued and most attended exhibition of the Stedelijk since the re-opening in 2012. In addition to their early designs, the exhibition featured new, previously unseen work by the Dutch duo. Specially for the presentation at the Stedelijk, Studio Drift created the largest-ever installation of Fragile Future. Another highlight was Drifter, a floating concrete monolith measuring four by two by two meters. The film Drifters (2016) and the installation Materialism (2018) went on view for the first time. In total, the presentation comprised of eight of Studio Drift’s room-filling installations, together with a selection of films. Marjolein was closely involved with the preparations and execution of the exhibition from the Stedelijk side.
