Cityscape by Arne Quinze
For the duration of a year the suburban quarter of Brussels, Quartier Louise, will play host to a vast wooden sculpture by Belgian artist Arne Quinze. For anyone who remembers UCHRONIA, by Quinze, in the less accessible destination of the Nevada desert last year, you’ll be familiar with the precarious oversized matchstick quality of his work.
Speaking about the sculpture, Quinze explains, ‘It resembles a frozen movement, speed caught in time. It is a powerful means of communication – if you look at it from a distance, pure movement seems to keep the volatile structure in the air, whilst its immense size (40m x 25m) absorbs you.’ And for anyone worried about the wood used to build CITYSCAPE, the design house assures us that everything will be fully regenerated and recycled.

I’ve been to Brussels and seen Arne’s piece. Seriously, it is impressive.
That’s a lot of sticks.
