Overview

Lindberg’s first project for this EU organization was a 63ft tall resin cascade in their headquarter’s Entrance Hall(see Lindberg’s Codaworx profile). For this second project for the organization’s auxiliary building, Lindberg’s main piece is a large hanging sculpture in the Entrance Hall/Atrium, with LED lighting inside. From there, a sculpture in front of the Stairwell window leads visitors downstairs where there are four resin paintings in Conference Rooms. The works are colorful and meant to be recognized as a group by their style. The art commission was coordinated by the revered Dutch government art management department, the Rijksgebouwendienst (Royal Dutch Building Services)–Lindberg’s third project for them. The client is one of the highest security organization in the EU, and installation was on time, and security and safety regulations were met.

Goals

To activate spaces and enhance users’ experiences throughout the building.

Process

The EU client’s six-person committee selected the artist for the project, then various meetings were held and a final proposal was agreed upon. The committee was provided with more color samples, drawings and models to create the final proposal together. Close communication with the artist, architect, building construction manager, client’s committee, the art commission manager, and an art installation crew continued until completion. The artwork was installed on time and met high security and safety standards.
The client expressed that it is beautiful project, and included the artworks in their in-house publication--including an interview with the artist. They even mentioned having Lindberg do a third project with them–for their third building.
Many thanks to them.
