Land art and site specific sculpture in the urban setting. Environmental
sculpture is an art form which uses the environment as its material. Concrete
art is, like any art form, human made and is therefore geometric in essence.
Public art is art which can be viewed and accessed by the public.
The city of Houten, near Utrecht in Holland,
commissioned Lucien den Arend to make a sculpture for a raised mound in the central park
which bisects Houten. Den Arend made a construction consisting of large and identical
steel arcs, each having a chord of twelve meters. These virtually perform a
rhythmic dance
up and over the small hill. The total height above ground level is about twenty meters. He
called the sculpture c.y.f.
