billboard [spring]
a temporary in situ installation of wooden panels
about h250cm x 500cm
on view 20|03|2024_20|04|2024
corner Eggestraat + Hendrik Consciencelaan
Mortsel [BE]
classic advertising panels are replaced by
green painted and stained wooden panels made from leftover cuts
shades + textures of green + their coloured edges
announce the coming spring season
opportunities for art are everywhere
from an empty store window (cfr my antwerpartbox project) to less used
advertising billboards just around the corner from our home
i decided to 'advertise' nature + the coming spring season
using bought + free pieces of multiply + osb panels [man versus nature]
painted + stained in various shades + textures of green
red/blue/yellow edges symbolising the slowly emerging flowers
in a few weeks the surrouding bare trees will serve as a green background
big thanks to Stad Mortsel for the location !
