Place to see: "Kielzog" \\ Art Exhibition, Marknesse, Netherlands

About this place:

Art exhibition in the 'Waterloopbos' near Marknesse
Started the 6th of June.

Could art change the climate?
With this question seventeen international artists were sent into the Waterloopbos, an almost exotic forest in the Netherlands.
In this former, open air laboratory where hydraulic engineers have dealt with the water in a technical way for decades, Kielzog appeals to the imagination. Amongst overgrown sluices, harbours and river courses, the artists worked on location on a new view on the typically Dutch battle against the water.

Kielzog invited artists to develop a new point on climate change.
Given the visions of a future with palms in the Nordic countries due to rising temperatures and the subsequent rising of the sea level, creativity might now be more essential than the technicians way to find a solution. Thus Kielzog has a twofold goal: creating a provocative art project with professional artists, thereby rising the interest of the public for unexpected points of view with regard to climate change/ water issues.
