My latest work will be on show at Culturele Hoofdstraat 2024 in Beetsterzwaag. In the weekend of July 6 and 7, some 30 artists will take over Beetsterzwaag for the annual ‘Culturele Hoofdstraat’. It is an honour to be part of this and show my work in the gardens near the ‘Tropische Kas’.
I made a new work especially for Culturele Hoofdstraat 2024. It consist of an outdoor photography exhibition and a conceptual art walk. I hope to meet many of you there!
VISITING ALL PUBLIC BENCHES IN A 500 METRES RADIUS ON A 5 KILOMETRES WALK WITH 83 OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONTEMPLATION
Public benches are a reminder for the walker to take a moment to rest, contemplate on the road travelled and on the goals ahead. At Culturele Hoofdstraat I will show you my walk through Beetsterzwaag where in a 500 metres radius we find no less than 83 public benches. The views from these benches form a contemplative portrait of the village.
The portrait formed by 83 views will be on show in the gardens near ‘Tropische Kas’. For a live view you can put on your walking shoes and visit all 83 benches yourself. Scan the QR-code and follow the directions on your phone or buy the small guidebook.
My guidebook will give you directions on your walk through Beetsterzwaag and 83 inspirational quotes to guide you through the journey that is your life. Take each bench as a chance for contemplation and expand your horizon, find new destinations and reach your goals.
While benches are seen as reminders to contemplate, quotes are to be seen as the fast-track to a meaningful contemplation. Short soundbytes from famous people, taken completely out of context, are the ultimate form of wisdom compressed into just some letters on a page. With 83 quotes this guide will provide you with all the wisdom you need on your walks.
The book is a small pocket-size guide with quotes, a fold-out map and all 83 views from public benches. This self-published publication will be available for only 12 euro at the exhibition in Beetsterzwaag or just let me know you want one.
