Project 'Forever in Stone', Olympisch Kwartier, Amsterdam
2001-2008
The site-specific artwork 'Forever in Stone' by Martijn Sandberg, is an integral part of the architecture of the district Olympisch Kwartier, Amsterdam.
Steel clinkers form the pixels of a figuration in the brickwork of the planters, meandering along the plinths of the housing blocks throughout the district like a banderole.
By sampling the steel clinker in the brick grid of the banderole, a perpetual loop occurs: 'Stoned Forever', 'Forever Stoned', 'Stoned Again' and 'Again' written in stone.
