Detail of Las estrellas me iluminan al revés, 2022, Alejandro Galván.
From October 4, 2025, to March 22, 2026, Museum Van Bommel Van Dam presents the exhibition Fantastic Creatures. This international group exhibition features mostly recent works by renowned and promising artists who draw inspiration from mythical figures and age-old stories. Through fabulous beings expressed in textiles, drawings, ceramics, paintings, videos, and installations, they reflect on current issues such as identity, culture, and social relations. What makes this exhibition so special is the way it connects the old with the new: myths may be stories from the past, but at the same time they are living traditions that continue to evolve and resonate with new generations.
We are beyond honored that five of our artists will participate in this exhibition: afra eisma, Alejandro Galván, RojoNegro, Buhlebezwe Siwani and María Sosa. Alongside: Jamel Armand, Marianne van der Heijden, Camille Henrot, Susanna Inglada, Hella Jongerius, Wouter Osterholt, Tanja Ritterbex, Nina van de Ven, Theresa Weber en Müge Yilmaz. Curated by James Hannan.
