As often be the case with art in public space, maintenance is needed to maintain the beauty of the piece of art. Such was also the case in Almere for the monument commemorating René Kempenaar.
For years, René Kempenaar, who suddenly died on April 16th in 2007, fully dedicated himself to the young people of Almere. He wanted to create a cool hang-out for them, where they could gather.
During the first weeks of October, new mats of tiles were made at Mothership and soon after they were glued in place. Now, the artwork designed by Arno Coenen, looks like new again!
Thanks to the City of Almere, De Kunstwacht and all the helping hands.
