Drift

Dutch artists Lonneke Gordijn (1980) and Ralph Nauta (1978) founded studio DRIFT in 2007. With a multi-disciplinary team of 40, they work on experiential sculptures, installations and performances. DRIFT manifests the phenomena and hidden properties of nature with the use of technology in order to learn from the Earth’s underlying mechanisms and to re-establish our connection to it. With both depth and simplicity, DRIFT’s works of art illuminate parallels between man-made and natural structures through deconstructive, interactive, and innovative processes. DRIFT works bring people, space and nature on to the same frequency, uniting audiences with experiences that inspire a reconnection to our planet. Their work has been exhibited at Milwaukee Art Museum (2025), Palazzo Strozzi (2024), LUMA Foundation (2024), Central Park New York (2023), Centre Pompidou (2022), The Shed NYC (2021); Stedelijk Museum (2018); Art Basel (2017, 2021) Victoria & Albert Museum (2009, 2015) amongst others. DRIFT is represented by Pace Gallery, Carpenters Workshop Gallery and Creative Artists Agency (CAA).
