Artwork 'Het Wapen van Lochem', opening gemeentehuis Lochem, 6 Feb 2013
A unique façade artwork by Martijn Sandberg graces the frontage of the new Lochem Town Hall. On Wednesday 6 February, the artwork was unveiled by the mayor and the Royal Commissioner for Gelderland during the official opening of the Town Hall.
A visitor to the Town Hall sees a concrete façade relief, built into the very frontage. The emblem describes the Lochem coat of arms. It arouses an association with centuries-old banderoles and modern banners.

Commission for site-specific artwork, FIRST building, Rotterdam, Jan 2013
Martijn Sandberg has been commissioned to develop a site-specific artwork for the south facade wall of the new FIRST building complex at the Weena, Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This public artwork will be 27 metres long and 6 metres high.
The new architectural plan for the area will retain the former Bouwcentrum in the courtyard, as well as the brick sculpture 'Wall Relief no.1' (1955) by Henry Moore. The north side of the new FIRST building will incorporate the latter sculpture.
Realisation of Sandberg's artwork is expected to be completed in 2015. The project has been commissioned by FIRST Rotterdam BV and Maarsengroep BV.

'De Sleutel Ligt Onder de Deurmat', De Zilverling, Amsterdam, March 2012
Martijn Sandberg's site-specific artwork is integrated with the communal corner stair belonging to De Zilverling tower building at the Colijnstraat in Amsterdam.
A secret message lurks among the layers of the concrete stair treads. A message left unobtrusively, for your eyes only: 'the key is under the doormat'.
