Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong.
A 16.5 meters, equivalent to 6 stories high giant yellow duck (by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman) had attracted hundreds of thousands of locals and tourists from across the region, brings unlimited joy to Hong Kong.
If you travel by ferry everyday, the duck really makes the routine to be special.
Rubber Duck is a series of several giant floating sculptures of yellow rubber ducks, designed by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman, which have appeared in many cities around the world. Each Rubber Duck is recreated anew locally, as his public art is intended to be temporary.
Hofman first brought the duck to Hong Kong ten years ago, in 2013. This year, two ducks form his art exhibit called “Double Ducks” in the Victoria Harbor, each over 18 meters tall. Unfortunately one duck had deflated due to the extreme heat and pressure inside the rubber duck by the time I got there. However, this did not deter visitors and families from flocking to Tamar Park to take a glimpse of this happy looking duck.

I first read about this work by the Dutch artist, Florentijn Hofman appearing in Japan sometime back in 2009 and thought it was so cool and when I found out that it would be sailing through our area over the weekend, of course we had to go see it! The sight of this 15 tons, 6 stories high structure with all the sail boats in the background was quite amazing, but trying to capture the whole scene with the dogs in it was too difficult with all the rails and other distracting elements. So, instead we opted for a higher vantage point by the Museum of Glass and I think this shot turned out more interesting with the floating glass sculptures in the middleground.
Bospoldervos (Florentijn Hofman, 2020).
Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
16 m long, 10 m high, 65 tons.
"Bospolder" was the old name of the area that is now this part of Rotterdam. Friom there, the fox entered the city. The plastic bag is a reference to the market nearby.
Three giant grand pianos on the beach, 2006.
Paal 5, Schiermonnikoog island, The Netherlands.
The grand pianos are 8 x 6 x 5 meters. They look like they just washed up on the beach, and are there to symbolize a connection between 'music, the island, nature and the sea'.
This was a 'BIG art project' in 2006, by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman (Delfzijl, 1977), who specializes in large-scale work and is best known for his giant 'Rubber Duck' projects in Europe, Asia and Australia.
Drie houten mega-vleugels van elk 8 x 6 x 5 meter, in de branding op het strand van Schiermonnikoog bij Paal 5, in de herfst van 2006. Ze liggen er alsof ze net zijn aangespoeld en symboliseren 'de relatie tussen muziek, het eiland, de natuur en de zee'.
Het was een project van kunstenaar Florentijn Hofman (Delfzijl, 1977), die zich heeft gespecialiseerd in kunst op een grote schaal. Hij is internationaal bekend geworden met zijn badeenden-projecten ('Rubber Duck projects') in Europa, Azië en Australië.

Six giant Gouldian Finches will fly into Brisbane to spread messages of hope this September.
Created by internationally renowned Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman and brought to life by Brisbane’s Urban Art Projects, these spectacularly coloured birds invite us to look up and smile.
Perched atop iconic Brisbane locations in the inner-city river area, Messengers of Brisbane can be viewed on a leisurely stroll, bike ride, or even from a CityCat.
Rubber duck has came Osaka again, until December 25th. As a part of the illumination event, OSAKA HIKARI RENAISSANCE 2009.

A giant polar bear will unabashedly empty its bladder into the canal from the quay near Museum Flehite in the city Amersfoort, The Netherlands. This 'Pissing Polar Bear' is sculpture made by Florentijn Hofman, known for, among other things, the rubber ducks bobbing over seas worldwide. It symbolizes how indifferent and cowardly humans treat animals and the climate.
It was on display until January 22 this year. Now it stands at the artist's studio. The future destination is still unknown.

RUBBER DUCK : Produced by Florentijn Hofman
10 x 11 x 13 meters
Europe, Netherlands, Gelderland, Arnhem, Bartokplein, Feestaardvarken, Florentijn Hofman (slightly cut from R & T)
Once upon a time in the eastern part of Holland, a small kingdom by the North sea, a Zoo director was in a festive mood - the Zoo he works for opened its door to the public 100 yeas ago! And he wanted to give the people of the neighbouring town a present. He felt grateful because those people had visited his Zoo many many times. What to do? What to choose?
Well, he remembered a young and ambitious artist that had proven that he knew what the people love – they love giant and colorful statues of endearing animals like rubber bath ducks, bears with pillows, floppy eared hares and inflated monkeys . And that was just the kind of thing the director liked too.
He met the artist and they started talking. And they decided that the present should be……a giant ‘Feestaardvarken’ (festive aardvark)! That choice was no coincidence, the director of the Zoo is responsible for the European breeding program of the Aardvark.
The alderman of the town who was in charge of 'art in the public space' wanted to place the Feestaardvarken near the most important road entering the town. Because he wanted to attract tourists. The director and the young artist objected: “but it’s a present for the people, not for the tourists!” The meddlesome alderman said that the people would eventually benefit and besides “I’m a people’s man, so I know best”. The artist and Zoo director didn’t think so and went searching for a real people’s location.
They were helped by an eager, bearded and bespectacled young civil servant of municipal works who said things like “we must create a nice biotope for the Aardvark and transplant a piece of real nature (de Veluwe) to this end”. Well okay! Together they eventually found a nice spot to do this, smack in the middle of town. And lo and behold - a property developer who had speculatively bought that piece of vacant land and who hadn’t been able to realize the planned office there, lend it to the Aardvark team.
And the artist went to work. The Aardvark shouldn’t be a just statue but an engaging play- thing too. The children must be able to easily climb it and it should be sturdy. So he build a metal (beton ijzer) frame and covered it with concrete (spuitbeton) which he sculpted. And after that a heavy lorry hauled the 15 ton Aardvark to his new “biotope”.
During the opening festivities he slowly blinked an eye in approval and the joyful laughter of the children and young mothers in attendance bounced off the walls of the buildings surrounding the square. The Aardvark had found a home.

Beeld van Florentijn Hofman ter gelegenheid van de expositie ter ere van het 75-jarig bestaan van Dierenpark Amersfoort en specifiek over de relatie tussen mens en dier.
Dit beeld symboliseert dat bij een stijgende zeespiegel het leefgebied van de ijsbeer steeds kleiner zal worden. Amersfoort zal dan aan zee komen te liggen.
De ijsbeer klimt in Amersfoort aan wal en gaat ongegeneerd plassen in de gracht, net als mensen dat zouden kunnen doen. Het symboliseert daarmee hoe onverschillig en hufterig de mens omgaat met dieren en het klimaat.
De ijsbeer plaste 's nachts ook en daar waren buurtbewoners niet bij mee vanwege het geluid. Daarom plast de ijsbeer nu
van 00.00-07.00 niet meer. Hoewel de buurt aanvankelijk dus niet blij was met het beeld, willen veel mensen nu dat de ijsbeer blijft. Hier is nog geen besluit over genomen.
Image by Florentijn Hofman on the occasion of the exhibition in honor of the 75th anniversary of Amersfoort Zoo and specifically about the relationship between humans and animals.
This image symbolizes that the polar bear's habitat will become increasingly smaller as the sea level rises. Amersfoort (in the middle of the Netherlands) will then be located by the sea.
The polar bear climbs ashore in Amersfoort and unashamedly pees in the canal, just like humans might do. It therefore symbolizes how indifferent and cowardly humans treat animals and the climate.
The polar bear also urinated at night and local residents were not aware of this because of the noise. That is why the polar bear no longer pees from 00:00 to 07:00. Although the neighborhood was initially not happy with the image, many people now want the polar bear to stay. No decision has been made on this yet.
Europe, Netherlands, Drenthe, De Nieuwe Kolk, Centrall Hall/Atrium, Inflated monkey, Florentijn Hofman (uncut)
The Nieuwe Kolk is an exciting cultural quarter which houses a multiplex cinema, theatre, public library and the CBK regional art centre and various café’s and commercial spaces. It was designed by De zwarte hond (project team: Jurjen van der Meer, Tjeerd Jellema en Martien van Goor).
Displayed here is the central hall / atrium which connects the theatre, the library, the CBK art centre and the multiplex cinema. It’s dominated by a giant inflated monkey, created by Florentijn Hofman. This suspended sculpture announces the Lief Dier?! - Lovely animal ?! exhibition in the CBK regional art centre.
More about this lovely exhibition and its context is in my previous post Hunks & Grasduinen @ De Nieuwe Kolk
De Bospoldervos is een werk van beeldend kunstenaar Florentijn Hofman. Het is een beeld van zestien meter lang en tien meter hoog. Zijn naam heeft hij te danken aan de wijk waarin hij staat: Bospolder-Tussendijken
The giant 16.5 meters inflatable Rubber Duck created by Dutch artist Florentijn Hofman had become a cult in Hong Kong and made the yellow duck mania in the city in the past May/June. Has it spread to Vancouver recently?
I saw the ducks in Vancouver and Richmond. They are running wild! :o)
