Prime Minister Jean Marc Ayrault visits Péage Sauvage

A fascinating encounter with Prime Minister Jean Marc Ayrault. We talked about decline of cities and how investments in arts in Nantes and Ruhrgebiet are made for economic revival. Seen from this perspective, the art of Observatorium and the ideas of the Prime Minister are two chapters of one book: The Power of Public Art.

picnic at the Péage

Saturday, June 16 artists Geert van de Camp and Andre Dekker welcome you for a picnic on the brand new ESTUAIRE 2012 artwork Péage Sauvage at the edge of inner city nature reserve Petite Amazonie. Join us from 18-23h.

Bring your food and drinks, enjoy the quiet, feel the warmth of the oak wood, climb the stairs, look out out over the canopy of the nature reserve, listen to the birds and imagine city planners choosing this location for a highway, not so long ago.
