Eric Giraudet de Boudemange: Seeds of Plenty
Eric Giraudet de Boudemange: Seeds of Plenty
In Spring 2026, Eric Giraudet de Boudemange will transform 1646 into a space where the body and the landscape will play an overarching role, tinged with dark humour.
In his solo exhibition Seeds of Plenty, Eric Giraudet de Boudemange (France/Argentina, 1983) explores the intertwining of stories of growth, health, agriculture and the global economy. Drawing inspiration from local traditions and folklore – such as the Fruit Corso in Tiel, a festive parade celebrating food abundance – he reflects on how agriculture and trade have shaped landscapes and identities in the Netherlands and beyond, and the impact this has on our daily lives.
Through newly produced sculptures, videos and installations, Giraudet de Boudemange connects the personal with the political, exploring how the promise of abundance collides with questions of sustainability, well-being, and the limits of endless growth. Agriculture becomes a mirror of society’s desires and contradictions – a stage where power, fertility and imagination converge. The artist invites us to consider how our own bodies become an extension of these cycles of production and transformation.
