Olnetop by Nick Ervinck - Westende-Bad Beach

Highlight • Monument

Nick Ervinck's Olnetop has something monstrous about it. You can recognize different elements in the hybrid form, but the installation mainly refers to splashing waves. The Belgian artist is inspired by the natural dynamics of seawater that pounds against the breakwaters with constant force. With his work he tries to capture the sublime violence that lurks behind a serene surface. Based on a macro photographic image, Olnetop is an encounter between nature and technology. Ervinck calls it a virtual sculpture, completely digitally designed and not carved out of stone or carved out of wood, but still tangible due to the polyester version.

Delvoye's 'Caterpillar series' dates from 2002. With this collection of remarkable construction machines, Delvoye forges a timeless melting point between the past and the present. It used to take centuries to build a Gothic cathedral, while now a spectacular building is built in no time. The contrast between the sturdy and rough appearance of the corten steel construction and the refined Gothic patterns is astonishing.

Pillage of the Sea by Rosa Barba

Highlight • Monument

Pillage of the Sea
Artist: Rosa Barba

'Cairns' have adorned our landscape since time immemorial. They emerge like heaped stones; turrets as handy anchor points for lost hikers. In different cultures they have a spiritual meaning. Especially in Japan they are seen as ceremonial or sacred places of reflection. Standing at the balancing stones, man acknowledges that he is at the mercy of nature and softly whispers wishes to her. Rosa Barba anchors such an enlarged cairn in Ostend. She imitates the stones by pouring concrete into textiles: a technique that promises flexibility for the architects and designers of tomorrow. The textile is reminiscent of the shape of sandbags, with which Barba creates a kind of imaginary dam against future sea level rise.

Beaufort ROCK STRANGERS Sculpture Park – Arne Quinze (Beaufort 2012)
Arne Quinze developed a sculpture cluster for the city of Ostend called Rock Strangers.
Strange objects that appear in locations where you would least expect them, such as the renovated Zeeheldenplein, the city's hotspot. It looks like they have washed up.
Their bright orange color contrasts sharply with their natural environment and gives them an alienating effect.
His Rock Strangers form a colorful accent in an otherwise fairly neutral, urban environment. With the immense metal installation, Quinze wants to counterbalance the increasingly strong uniformity in urban planning.
He also wants to penetrate the safe cocoon that people build around them in the city. Strange elements appear and contribute to the multi-society.
Location: Zeedijk near Zeeheldenplein, Ostend beaufortbeeldenpark.be

Venetian and Royal Galleries

Highlight • Monument

The Venetian galleries were built between 1900 and 1903 according to a design by the architect Henri Maquet (1839-1909). Like many new buildings of the time, this gallery was built at the request of King Leopold II. Previously, the site was taken by a restaurant and adjacent oyster well called "Pavillon du Rhin" (Wikipedia).
