Oracles from Far & Near

From 30 November 2024 to 26 October 2025, the Princessehof National Museum of Ceramics explores the kinship and diversity between species and beings, be they humans, animals, plants or other lifeforms: what connects us? Oracles from Far & Near includes (large) ceramic sculptures and installations, and drawings and batiks by artists with a shared interest in different life forms (both real and imaginary), evolution and resilience. The objects invite us to climb down from our pedestal and seek a connection with the unknown.

The artists featured in Oracles from Far & Near share an interest in exploring diverse forms of life. On view are existing and new works by Heinze van Dijken (1987-2023, NL), Dan Ernst (1948, SR), Zeger Reyers (1966, NL), Yoann Estevenin (1992, FR), Anemoon Fokkinga (2003, NL), Hannie Terpstra (1929-2022, NL), Pauline Wiertz (1955-2019, NL), Rachel de Joode (1979, NL) and Michel Gouéry (1959, FR).
