Blue Poplar (working title) Amsterdam, the Netherlands, opening 1 October 2010 |
||
Amsterdam Nieuw-West (Burg. Roellstraat/burg. Van Leeuwenlaan, Slotermeer), behind St Lucas Hospital). The project is a monument to a boulevard of grand poplar trees that grew with the neighbourhood (planted in 1960,when it was still ll sand and cows) and were dying from old age, throwing branches at by-passing cars. This tree was apparently forgotten when the others were removed. Local residents got together to save it as an artwork to remember the trees they loved. |
