Cityscape



Art dude by the name of Arne Quinze (I feel like calling him Arne XV) is currently building his massive wooden installation Cityscape on a vacant lot in a Brussels shopping area. It looks fantastic. I must get down there and see it, possibly tomorrow.

Mr. XV is known for his constructions in wood, including stuff at the Burning Man hippie festival thingy in the Nevada desert. Not much danger of this work burning down, though: the howling winds will put out your matches, and the driving rain dilute your lighter-fluid. It is August, after all.

I wanted a nice picture, but also found another thing by XV, which makes me like him all the more.
