By invitation of: TodaysArt Festival 2012 -- https://todaysart.org/2012/

The Todays Art Festival in The Hague occurs in a critical moment in the political and cultural life of The Hague where multi-million-euro architectural projects are being approved alongside dramatic budget cuts to smaller cultural institutions. Following previous experiments, this contradiction led us to propose a structure for the festival entirely made out of discarded materials, a vortex shaped structure expressing this idea of a natural force that sucks everything in its path.
