One, two, three
Three blocks of flats at the Van Ketwich Verschuurlaan together form the southern border of De Wijert neighbourhood.

These works of art by Allie van Altena were applied to the front walls and consist of three objects of 63 balls, 63 quadrangles and 63 pyramids. All 189 elements have been separately mounted to the wall. Each object is intended to function as some kind of artistic signpost, because the residents of the Wijert wanted more landmarks in their neighbourhood with the repetitive lay-out of the identical blocks that at times make it difficult to orientate. The balls, quadrangles and pyramids provide recognisability.

Monument
We can already hear you saying, ‘How is a centuries-old station hall off the beaten path?’. Yet in the hustle and bustle of modern life, we’re all compelled to just hurry from one appointment to the next, taking the beauty around us for granted.

Many a townie in a rush to catch their train has bumped their head on this inverted snowglobe in the bike parking garage. This ‘underground’ work of art features the familiar silhouette of the Central Station.

Monument
The Tschumi pavilion was designed by the deconstructivist architect Bernard Tschumi and was part of an art exhibition in the ‘90s in Groningen. Five architects were invited to the city to design temporary pavilions, but this one remained standing.
