Saenredam-project: The End

Almost six months, the Floating Sculptures floated at Estate Het Buitenland. Now, the project has come to an end. Last week, the floating objects were removed from the water.

Oscar Abraham Pabon (Venezuela) created the sculpture for the 30th anniversary of the Seanredam (or, Wilgeneiland) in Barendrecht. The assignment was: design two (temporary) floating sculptures that have a special relation with the Barendrecht Wilgeneiland. The project was financed with the support of the Mondriaan Fonds.

For three months the sculptures floated around the island near Barendrecht. At 12 December 2015 the sculptures were replaced to estate Het Buitenland.

Bergarde Galleries is very grateful to Stichting Saenredam for facilitating the replacement to Het Buitenland. With special gratitude towards Maarten Ouwens, who was commited to the project until the very end.
