Netherlands, Wijk aan Zee, Dunes, Een zee van staal, White rhythm (Robert S Erskine) (uncut)
In 1999 Wijk aan Zee was a 'Cultural village of Europe'.
For the occasion eleven sculptors from eleven European countries were commissioned to transform the top of a dune into a sculpture park, with the theme 'A Sea of Steel'. Of course, the art installation had to be made of steel. Material and workspace were made available by the steel plant Hoogovens, now Tata Steel.
The organization wrote the following about the sculpture.
"On top of a dune top, the white statue of the Englishman Robert S. Erskine attracts all the attention. It seems like it can get moving at any moment. Is it fluttering laundry or a monstrously large caterpillar? Erskine calls it differently: it is a 'City Piece', a 'cityscape'. With a nod to the theme 'Cultural village of Europe'. Erskine did not take the buildings of a city as a starting point, but the hustle and bustle, the dynamics and the speed that city life is peculiar. He found this combination of crowds and movement mainly on zebra crossings in large cities. He saw people rushing over, their raincoat (he remains an Englishman) fluttering around them. This image, this rhythm of fluttering coats, he has expressed in steel. An earlier version, on a small size in bronze, served as an example. For this steel sculpture, he cut dozens of diamond shapes out of the plate and had them rolled into a curl. Plate by plate he welded them together in a nice rhythm of hollow-ball, high-low. The middle part consists of two series next to each other; a translation of left and right on the zebra crossing. That can be seen from the bottom. At the head and butt both rows come together and the plates interttify into a whole. The kink in the body increases the mobility. The blades give direction. They also serve as reinforcement. The statue stands with stiff steel legs on a huge pedestal in the shape of a capsized ship. Is the cityscape still anchored to the coast?"
This is number 1112 of Minimalism explicit graphism.
– eine stille Intervention
Die Skulpturen bestehen aus kantigen, weißen Körperformen, die bewusst abstrakt gehalten sind. Zwischen Bäumen und Felsblöcken positioniert, interagieren die Werke mit der natürlichen Umgebung und regen zur Reflexion über Präsenz, Erinnerung und Menschlichkeit an.

Monumental installation of abandoned boats collected from around the city of Detroit and arranged and suspended in and around an abandoned warehouse.
From the bottom of the escalator looking back it's a lot easier to see how the blue mosaic lined skylight brings an eerie natural light down to the lowest level of the metro station.
I stumpled upon this surprising figure in my favorite forest last night. I found out that it has been made by a young artist Sirja Moberg. This is a part of her diploma exhibition. The name of the sculpture is "Obscure Presence"

""Everything is art, everything is politics', says Ai Weiwei. He calls for an understanding of art and politics as inseparable and all-encompassing. Clothes can also be art, and clothes can also be political. The clothes in the Laundromat installation belonged to refugees, most of whom came from Syria. With no prospect of further travel, they ended up in the Idomeni refugee camp on the Greek-North Macedonian border. Ai Weiwei visited the hopelessly overcrowded camp several times. When the camp was cleared by the Greek authorities in 2016, many belongings, especially clothing, were left behind. Ai Weiwei brought the clothes to his studio in Berlin and had them cleaned and repaired. Every piece of clothing tells of war, oppression, flight, persecution, and suffering. Sorted like in a laundry, they wait to be picked up and ask about the fate of the people who wore them."

I think the piece was entitled "Heaven's Gate" and inside was a small infinity box of lights and mirrors. -- April 16, 2017

Shiny! :-)
And I thought the lines and blocks of colour were interesting.

Detail from an eye-catching and dazzling 2010 optical illusion installation with sand and pigments beneath which lie pages of Baruch Spinoza's Ethics, suffused with eucalyptus oil....from artist Job Koelewijn (1962) titled 'Nursery Piece'.
The work is likened to a ritual mandala, painstakingly built up. I read that the artist tried to make a connection between the philosophies of Spinoza and Buddhism. The powerful optical effect, twinned with the scent, is an aid to absorbing Spinoza's wisdom.
But it was hard for me to concentrate on this idea - as even though I was standing still looking down on this piece, the moving optical effect made me feel I was all at sea. I could only look at it for short moments at a time.

the ceiling was stone. ribs arched towards the center.
it was a structure of order, built over centuries.
below it, something new. a tangle of wire and steel.
it caught the light like a neuron, or a web.
two lights burned like stars inside the chaos.
the old stone held the new chaos. both were silent.

農業的孕育流程重視與地、與物、與人的連結，這樣的方式使農民們格外的珍惜人與人的緣份，形成強大的向心力。聚聚亭以眾人齊心齊力做為發想，以抽象的巨大人型曲線作為主題，以雷切金屬彎版層層疊出八個曲面模組，八座模組互相支撐形成彷彿人們聚在一起準備出發耕作，型態成為具有包覆性的亭子。
The farming process values the connection between land, objects, and people, which makes farmers especially treasure relationships and forms a strong centripetal force. The Gathering Pavilion takes the idea of people working together as a starting point, with an abstract huge human-shaped curve as the theme. The eight curved modules are stacked using laser-cut metal, supporting each other to form a pavilion that resembles people gathering together to prepare for farming.

In Buddhism, Avalokiteśvara, also known as Avalokitasvara, is a bodhisattva who contains the compassion of all Buddhas and is the principal attendant of Amitabha Buddha on the right. He has 108 avatars, one notable one being Padmapāṇi (lotus bearer). He is variably depicted, described, and portrayed in different cultures as either male or female. In Chinese Buddhism and East Asian Buddhism, he is in a feminine form called Guanyin (pinyin: Guānyīn).
The earliest translation of the name Avalokiteśvara into Chinese by authors such as Xuanzang was as Guānzìzài (Chinese: 觀自在), not the form used in East Asian Buddhism today, Guanyin (Chinese: 觀音).
七十米高素白觀音聖像位於大埔洞梓慈山寺, 立於六米高圓形平臺之上，以超過六百噸錫青銅鑄造，雙目俯視，寓意觀世間眾生疾苦。法相慈悲，清淨莊嚴。聖像外噴塗白色氟碳自淨漆。其造型追模宋式，法相慈悲莊嚴，頭頂髮髻中現阿彌陀佛像，寓意無量法力庇佑眾生。其右手持智慧寶珠——摩尼珠，左手持淨瓶， 施灑淨水，清涼世界。法身佩戴瓔珞，衣帶當風，典雅飄逸。觀音頭部微微低垂，俯瞰眾生，以慈悲與智慧廣度一切有情。
觀音在印度時期的造相為男相，傳入中國後，直至唐朝末期（618-907），其造像皆現男相。至宋代（960-1279）初期，觀音像開始現女相，如公元十世紀出現的水月觀音像，是真正具有中國本土特徵的觀音形像，此後的觀音造像皆現女相。觀音從男性到女性的性別轉變，是觀音在中國本土化的進一步發展。
'Timelines', Wilder Walk, Soho, London, W1. This is a piece of installation art in an alleyway in Soho that never used to exist. Built through what was the old Regent Palace Hotel in a new office block development. The artist is Daniela Schönbächler. We discovered it by accident just feet away from our favourite restaurant that we were visiting at the time. I don't ever recall seeing it before even though it's been here since 2011 ! But it makes for a good photo or two and is proof that different places to photograph in London can still be found.

Stellar Spectra is a place of light, the signal from the stars split into two sculptural columns of starlight rooms: warm and cool lighthouses by the water. As the sun, earth’s closest star, shines from above, it refracts through the filters. Together the shafts create a spectrum of light. The cascade of colours spreads throughout the spaces and onto the stargazers.
