VEG #104 Afslag Rotonde: Kunst in de Openbare Ruimte

Afslag Rotonde is a freestyle art historical travelogue through more than a thousand works of art in the public space. It tells the story about art created under the care of the Practice Office for Visual Arts Orders (PBK) and the Art and Public Space Foundation (SKOR). The Netherlands has a lot of art in public spaces. In squares and roundabouts. In semi-public locations such as hospitals, schools and the House of Representatives. In parks, along motorways and in suburbs. Near bridges and unsuspecting overpasses.

Author Paul Kempers brings you along in Afslag Rotonde on an odyssey through a unique phenomenon: government-ordered art, created by highly idiosyncratic artists, within a web of urban planning and other fun regulations. Afslag Rotonde is the story about Dutch art in the public space.
