Art- and naturewalk Green Revolution
The third annual edition of this international art in nature project brought together 4 Dutch artists, 2 from the USA, 1 from France, Germany, China and Corea. 10 all to gether.The theme of the symposium was Green Revolution because of the revolutionary change of the landscape in the early twenties of the twentieth century. The waste land was reforested in some decades. The peat bogs, drifting sands and heather fields changed into forest with different types of trees. The work was done by unemployed people which were forced to work here by the government in mostly bad circumstances.
From May 30 till June 13 the artists were working on location with mostly natural materials from the wood: trunks, sand, boulders, branches etc. But also with a lot of very small mirrors for the Dutch artists Femke van Dam for example. The 10 projects gives a very well impression on what is going on in the world of nature art.

I´ve been here in Cordoba Argentina since July 2nd. It will be the 23rd by the time this is published. By the time you read this Brazil will have beaten Argentina in the Copa America finals. Cordoba and Buenos Aires will have had a record snowfall. And the exhibition of our work (my brother´s and mine) will be nearly over. My friend Crist loaned me his laptop so I cold write this blog in the hotel at my leasure. Uno problema poco… It has a mind of its own and insists on correcting my Spanish even though I´m writing in English. Lo siento. But its not so bad. I´m taking it as a lesson en español. Also the keyboard has a different configuración so from time to time I get the wrong key. Disculpe me por favor. 
Where I am right now the world still seems whole. Or at least as whole as it might have been, or appeared to be, when I was a child. Here it is still possible to feel that life moves at a pace you can keep up with without falling out of balance. I come every year with my family to be with my in-laws and to share this ‘rhythm’ and this feeling of care-free spaciousness with my wife and daughters. Muensterland – just about half-way between the heavily industrialised Ruhrgebiet and Hannover. Farmland basically, interspersed with forests and small villages, some idyllic, some less idyllic but not too out-of-place, crisscrossed by secondary roads and paths ideal for cycling. Motorways pass through, canals with heavily laden barges, but the Germans know how to build their Autobahnen without making them overly conspicuous, and the rhythm of barge-life takes you back in time.
