In Beetsterzwaag I presented my work VISITING ALL PUBLIC BENCHES IN A 500 METRES RADIUS ON A 5 KILOMETRES WALK WITH 83 OPPORTUNITIES FOR CONTEMPLATION. It consisted of a display of pictures of the views from all 83 public benches within the 500 metres radius I set and a walk visiting all these public benches with an inspirational quote for each public bench. The work forms a contemplative portrait of the village, is a reminder to not always keep going and at the same times disputes the notion that you can determine your own destiny by focusing on your goals. Life is not black and white, I intend to make you think about issues but don’t pretend to have the answers or solutions.

It was great to present this work in the beautiful park in Beetsterzwaag to all visitors who showed up despite the weather (lots of rain and wind and some short moments very sunny). It was part of the Kunstweekend organised annually by Culturele Hoofdstraat.

If you are interested I still have some issues available of the publication on this project. It is an A6-size guidebook with 83 inspirational quotes and an insert with a map and pictures of the views from all 83 public benches. Available in the webshop.
