Watch the video: Friction and Connection #3 – Wolkenvijver (Carel Visser)

In this edition of Friction and Connection #3, the focus is on Wolkenvijver (1985) by Carel Visser. The artwork – originally commissioned through the government’s percentage-for-art scheme – is located right at the corner of the Museon and Johan de Wittlaan. Visser’s work, also known as the Environmental Artwork with Six Sculptures, occupies a site that was once part of the Atlantic Wall during World War II.

The discussion, featuring representatives from the Kunstmuseum, the Archipel neighbourhood, the The Hague Bunker Association, and a soil expert, centres on themes such as ownership and maintenance.
