PETER VINK
During the LAB program of DordtYart, Peter Vink will work on a work especially made for the landslide of DordtYart. Peter Vink makes site-specific artworks. He incorporates the specific characteristics of the space or environment, aiming to emphasize or strengthen what is present in order to influence and highlight our experience of the site. For Dordtyart he designed a metal grid of 7 x 2.5 meter with 1500 segments. Each individual segment will be filled with handmade casted glass. This installation will be placed at the end of of a landslide. Each glass part will break the light in their own individual way whichwill create an unique experience and will give a spectacular new view on the river and city landscape. From the 16th of June, Peter Vink will work at the furnaces regularly. The exact dates will appear as soon as possible at the agenda on our website.
