two more artworks that stayed ...

... after the first two editions 2003-2006 of the Triennial Beaufort Art Tour.

Acqua Scivolo - Anne & Patrick Poirier (FR) - Beaufort01 - 2003

The sculpture on the sea-dike in Koksijde-Oostduinkerke copies the floor plan of the ruins of a medieval abbey church nearby.  It will find its permanent place next to the museum Ten Duinen, the location of the ruins. 

A view at part of the ruins in this post with last years' colourful installation.

Another artwork that moved from its location on the beach in Middelkerke-Belgium onto the Casino front in Blankenberge-Belgium.

Baby's - David Cerny (CZ) - Beaufort02

Pictures taken last year.

We're not attending many art events lately, but I still have many unpublished pictures from past ones.  Will post more of them soon.

Last year seemed to be a summer full of art tours and events.  Am I missing information about events this year? 
More sculptures from the first two editions of the Beaufort art tour that remained on our coast.

Wim Delvoye X 2

Digging in my archives I discover many unpublished pictures because of lack of time.  But nothing is lost ... only delayed.

Caterpillar 5bis - Wim Delvoye - Beaufort01

Middelkerke-Westende-Belgium

The sculpture was part of Beaufort Triennial at the Belgian Coast.  Taking place every three years all along the Belgian Coast, some of the sculptures are purchased by the coastal towns and remain on the site, or - in some cases - moved elsewhere.  This sculpture is from the first edition in 2006, we discovered it only last year while visiting the third edition of the event Beaufort03.

I find another picture I took at the Art Brussels Fair the end of April 2010.

A scale model of a similar sculpture in the Gothic Works by Wim Delvoye on the left, taken at the boot of Gallery Guy Pieters.

More archive pictures the next days. 

Krijn De Koning - the Gravity Museum

The ruins of the medieval Abby of the site make a perfect contrast with Krijn De Konings' (NL) "Gravity Museum"

On arrival it was cloudy and grey.

But once we entered the sculpture, built over part of the ruins, the sun joined us and this made the whole difference.

The bright colours start to reflect on opposite walls and shadows add an extra dimension.

I could spend hours here and watch the play of light and shadow as the sun moves and the intensity of the light changes.

Definitely a site to visit when the sun is shining.

Jason Meadows at Beaufort03

Jason Meadows' colourfull kiosque refers to the small pavillions in gardens and parks. He also found inspiration in nearby Plopsaland, a theme park with attractions for small children.
