Let Blom free up the artist inside you!

The mechnical sandwriter Blom draws on the streets, decorating the ground as it moves along, creating a variety of picture outlines such as a large flowery carpet, an ivy garland or a flock of little hearts.

Small buckets filled with coloured sand are placed close to the drawings so that everyone can join in and add their own personal touch.

About Gijs Van Bon

Gijs van Bon is widely known for his abstract kinetic artworks, light art, and time-specific art installations. He makes use of an ever-growing repertoire of technical inventions and materials to design his slowly moving and carefully choreographed objects. These multidisciplinary objects and installations often ‘come to life’, becoming autonomous, theatrical events in and of themselves. Both his smaller and larger-scale pieces invite viewers to look closer while simultaneously expanding their notions of time, language and space.
