WAD Sculptures II
This plan is based on a new environmental vision for this area. It gives a concrete
shape to ideas that still alive to tackle completely the Midden-Delfland area and
transform it into a place for preserving the open landscape. This should create a
landscape in which art of international stature is involved and which gets a great
asset to the urban agglomeration. This spot should be put on the map and should
be open to a wide audience. And youngsters will get their attention too, so they
can participate in an active way. In short, Land Art Delft makes the blank scenery
more beautiful.
World Art Delft is part of the steering committee, remains involved in the
development of the plan and monitors the quality of embedding the culture park
to its surroundings.

The garden of sculptures from World Art Delft (WAD) glorifies for the first time in
2010 during a major exhibition of sculptures, the first edition of WAD Sculptures.
Sculptors from home and abroad got their own beautiful location for their sculptures,
installations and land art.
It has even resulted in the purchase of Stalks in the Morninglight of Roel Teeuwen
by the Circle of Friends of World Art Delft. The blue stalks stay permanently with
pride alongside the lake as a beacon for the white swan who lives there.
The great interest, and thus the success, has led to a second edition. Besides big
sculptures of granite and steel, there are smaller ones of ceramic, bronze and wood.
And of course no such exhibition should be without land art. The Belgian sculptor
Marc de Roover will realize his draft of an igloo within a piece of landscape of World
Art Delft. The vocabulary of his environmental work is simple and limited,
nevertheless rich and dynamic.

WAD Sculptures II is once again a breeding ground for the long term to fulfill the
above ideals. Nature facilitates the arts, thus creating a dialogue with nature.

This second edition of WAD Sculptures is again an overture to the large-scale plan
of Land Art Delft. This project has arisen from a cooperation of World Art Delft and
the University of Technology of Delft.
Land Art Delft recognizes in its mission an aim at symbiosis between man, art and
nature in the beautiful countryside of moors and meadows between Delft and
Rotterdam.
