Marc Ruygrok, H E D E N, 1998

Location: Buurtpark Spoorwijk, now called Het Park van Heden, The Hague

In Spoorwijk, near a complex of new housing developments, a neighborhood park was created for which Marc Ruygrok designed a sculpture. The brass letters, now greenish-brown in color, stand in one line across the park. Together they can be read as the word H E D E N. The park after a design by the architectural firm Urban van Aar, which closes at night and is carefully maintained, is now called Het Park van Heden.
