CITIES - sculptures and land art

Zaanstad

Before my sculpture was here I visited this location. It was a repulsive place devoid of any quality - the view of the River Zaan being blocked by the concrete piers. It was for this reason four artists were commissioned to make proposals. I concluded that the only thing to do was to introduce a sculptural element, so large that this degraded location would be overruled by it. At the same time this work forms a belated protest to the ruthless invasion of the sixties.
