On 4 April, the EYE Film Institute Netherlands was opened – after having been relocated to a brand-new and above all larger building – in an inauguration ceremony attended by Queen Beatrix. The futuristic building has included 92 Starbricks, a work by artist Olafur Eliasson. Starbrick is part of Zumtobel’s Masterpiece collection – works of lighting art developed by the luminaire manufacturer in collaboration with renowned architects, designers and artists.

The architecture of the dOCUMENTA (13) utilises that which is already there – as authentically as possible. Kassel, largely destroyed in World War II, was rebuilt more or less from scratch in the mid-50s. This naturally presented something of a Herculean task, which speaks of the spirit of optimism present at the time. The curatorial guiding theme of “Destruction & Rebuilding“ is the thread which runs through the architectural realisation.
The Vedahaugane lookout consists in a 90 meters long concrete path leading the visitor away from the road and into the landscape. A double curve shape follows the terrain and leads towards a beautiful untouched valley dominated by high mountains and eternal snow. Jotunheimen mountains are in the distant.
