艺术家二人组合Gijs Van Vaerenbergh在比利时的鲁汶市创作了一个巨大的几何雕塑—-框架。这个作品从2012年9月1日展出到2012年的11月5日，属于Sol LeWitt展览，由鲁汶博物馆支持。这个抽象的立方体虽然很巨大，但是与城市公共空间存在良好的互动，并成为了城市景观中一道亮丽的风景线。它架在城市的环路上，在人们前进的过程中展现出不同的面貌。

这个75吨的雕塑用一天时间就安装好了，垂直高度24米，放倒后的最高点达到17米。使用起重机。

Gijs Van Vaerenbergh是由两位1983年出生与比利时鲁汶的艺术家Pieterjan Gijs和Arnout van Vaerenbergh创立。他们的作品往往与环境产生双向互动。

Artist duo Gijs Van Vaerenbergh makes a monumental geometric sculpture on the J.M. Artoisplein in Leuven (B)

The geometric sculpture Framework will be on display untill 5 November above the ring road on the Artoisplein. With this sculpture, Gijs Van Vaerenbergh has once more produced a work in the public space that is based on the language and expertise of the architecture to create an autonomous art object.

The sculpture was created as a result of the Sol LeWitt exhibition, Colors in M -Museum Leuven, but LeWitt’s conceptual work only acts as the starting point for the duo’s free interpretation in their own work. Their actual inspiration is LeWitt’s incomplete open cube 6/24 sculpture or ‘structure’, which is part of a series of works inspired by a cube. This minimal and abstract form, which LeWitt consciously designed on a human scale, has been blown up by Gijs Van Vaerenbergh into a monumental sculpture that clearly interacts with the public space. Several transformations -such as tilting the cube and the unusual use of tower crane components for the construction -result in the form losing its minimal character and becoming a landmark in the urban landscape. As a large sculpture, Framework forms a temporary gateway on the Ring Road in Leuven. The result has become a tangible spatial drawing that plays on the visual experience of the object in space as well as the environment. Both interact and determine each other’s ‘view’.

Here’s some more information from the Gijs Van Vaerenbergh:

Technical information

Framework is a sculpture of 75 ton that rests on three points. The work was mounted in one day, first upright and then tilted over the road. In its upright position it reached a height of 24m. When tilted, the highest point reaches 17m. The installation uses standard tower crane elements with special corner elements to make a loop.

Artists

Gijs Van Vaerenbergh is an artistic and architectural practice founded byPieterjan Gijs (Leuven, 1983) and Arnout van Vaerenbergh (Leuven, 1983).They have been creating projects in public spaces since 2007. Their work ofteninvolves site-specific interventions, installations and constructions thatgenerate a two-way interaction with the environment. This results in a practicecharacterised by research into the foundations of construction itself and itsimpact on the observer.
