19 NEW QUIRKY ARTWORKS BY BIG NAMES AND YOUNG TALENT AT BOSCH PARADE

Artists from all kinds of disciplines, big names and young talent from home and abroad, have once again drawn inspiration from the boundless symbolism, fantasies and absurdities of world-famous Bohemian Hieronymus Bosch. A new feature is the Garden of Delights, an incubator on the Citadel where the artists will work on their objects from 26 May and where Atelier van Lieshout will exhibit a collection of impressive works.

"Bosch Parade is one of the most successful events from the Bosch Year 2016, keeping alive the legacy to our city's world-famous painter Hieronymus Bosch. I am eagerly looking forward to the 2022 edition."

Ton Rombouts, former mayor of 's-Hertogenbosch

An award-winning and controversial sculptor. Especially for Bosch Parade, he built a huge Hammer which pounds its way through the water with a compelling heartbeat. With thunderous blows, the hammer, like a floating pied piper, lures Bosch Parade with it. From 26 May, Atelier van Lieshout will also exhibit a number of impressive artworks and sculptural installations in the Garden of Delights, the incubator on the Citadel where the artists are working on their objects for Bosch Parade.

That not only visual artists show their creations in Bosch Parade, dance makers Celine Werkhoven and Anna Zurkirchen, composer Antonio Alemanno and architect Ad Roefs prove. Together they will create the floating performance installation NAÎAD, a rudderless floating cliff on which two female creatures lure drowning people out of the water. With their alienating dance, in which bodies and limbs twist and double in impossible twists and turns, they entice them to come closer.

American Lisa Nigro created a furore with her interactive artworks full of fire effects for Burning Man, the annual experimental arts festival in the Nevada desert. "It has always been my dream to make art for and with communities around the world," Lisa states - and that is where she and Bosch Parade found each other. Lisa works with (Bossche) volunteers on her Angler Maiden, a monstrous fish constructed from steel and old iron, enticing fishermen with its music, colours and fiery character.

Bosch Parade mentors young talent and helps them, together with 'kickstarter for art and design talent' among others KOP, along on their way to national and international stages. Vince and Thjeu Donders, for example. With their They are the oil hunters they show the downside of our dependence on oil. On a barge built from the waste of our civilisation, the quest for the black gold drives a group of oil hunters to madness.

A new feature is the Garden of Delights, an incubator on the Citadel where, from 26 May, artists will work on their objects for Bosch Parade and where Atelier van Lieshout will exhibit a collection of impressive works. The Garden of Lusts is freely accessible to visitors until 15 June, there are catering facilities and during three Bosch Parade days (16 to 18 June) it will end with a dazzling closing event.
