The Dutch artist Robbie Cornelissen\u2019s (b. Utrecht, 1954; lives and works in Utrecht) oeuvre is endowed with unusual narrative power. His architectonic drawings in enormous formats, which often exude a futuristic aura, typically show deserted libraries, waiting halls, factory floors, or other oversized spaces. In alternation with his work on paper, the artist creates animated films out of thousands of drawings. This publication presents 250 drawings from Cornelissen\u2019s new film Terra Nova<\/em>, which explores an urgent contemporary concern: humanity\u2019s responsibility for the earth and the open question of its long-term survival on the planet.<\/p>\n Robbie Cornelissen studied biology and ecology at Rijksuniversiteit Utrecht and at Vrije Akademie, Den Haag, and the Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam. His work has been shown at Centraal Museum Utrecht, Hamburger Kunsthalle, the 11th Biennale de Lyon, and elsewhere.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Futuristic \/ Fantastic<\/strong><\/p>\n The Dutch artist Robbie Cornelissen\u2019s (b.
