Kijkduin

Just got back from Kijkduin, went to check out the new sculptures. Some really nice ones and some which just didnt catch my fancy. The one that I liked the most was " Maternita" it portrayed the concept is a very nice and simple way. reminded me of picasso a bit. Though i dont like Picasso, I quite liked this sculpture. The two heart in the middle set againt the blue sky and the baby in the womb, eptimoising the family concept. The "walking eggs" were pretty funny but i couldnt really grasp the idea behind them. The second sculpture that caugh the eye was that of a starved child. it was made from bonze but the artist used these realistic looking eyes. The child portrayed a very captivatig and chilling expression, and i think it was quite a strong piece. Here are some pictures:

The weather was pretty nice so i sat there listen to the live indeginous indian music and enjoyed my soft ijs. There was a large crowd listening t othe music but towards to end of the day the police came and everyone seemed to scatter away. I think the ppl were playing music without a permission from the authortities. Eveyone seemed to be enjoying the music so i dont see what the problem was.
