Brussels CityScape by Arne Quinze
For the duration of one year, brussels’ quartier louise is enlivened by CITYSCAPE,
an impressive wooden sculpture by belgium artist Arne Quinze.
The 18 meter-high artwork is built on 12 meter-high wooden stilts. Carrying the same ambiguous traits as her earlier siblings, of which UCHRONIA (a giant wooden sculpture, last year built in nevada desert) is the most striking example, CITYSCAPE attracts brussels inhabitants to this outskirts, acting as a magnet.
It’s encouraging us to interact, boosting new energy to a somewhat discarded neighborhood. Floating in the air, it provides a shelter to curious visitors, a place for contemplation and silence.
Arne Quinze:
CITYSCAPE resembles a frozen movement; speed caught in time. It is a powerful means of communication, in many ways. if you look at it from a distance, pure movement seems to keep the volatile structure in the air. Sunrays play
with the wooden beams; a game of light and shade creates ever-changing patterns. its immense size – 40 meter long and 25 meter wide – absorbs you. CITYSCAPE calls for instant reactions, it’s impossible not to feel anything.
Quinze’s CITYSCAPE will be open to public from september 14 onwards.

Cool new Internet Meme : Crowdsourcing your creation
Here is a very good idea : ask the crowd to create your logo, your member recruitment campaign or even your new ad big idea… and if you don’t get good creation, at least you’ll have done some buzz around your brand.
