Queen Beatrix opens the East West Forum (Oost West Forum) symposium
The old industrial area on the edge of the historic town
of Dordrecht, the Netherlands is where the Victoria candy factory
and the E.M.F. had functioned for many decades. This site was
chosen by the organizing committee of the Dutch Sculptors' Association
(Nederlandse Kring van Beeldhouwers) as the setting for the
Japanese/Dutch sculpture symposium.

While Queen Beatrix and her party were still inside the former
Victoria building the Japanese sculptors were preparing the
splitting of the large stones - the first one to be split in
the presence of the Queen.
Anna Pool was one of the photographers commissioned to document
the symposium. Before she died, she gave me a series of her
diapositives to use for any future documentation of the East
West Forum. These web pages seemed most appropriate for this
purpose - thank you Anna.
