Tiensestraat<\/h2>\n

Project in collaboration with MOMO<\/a><\/p>\n

During summer 2011, I was invited to Leuven, Belgium, to participate in the first edition of Outomatic<\/strong>. This outdoor art festival was made possible by help from the M van Museum<\/strong>. Hans, the festival organizer, told me about all the empty flag posts visible throughout the city streets, and I instantaneously loved the idea to use them for a project. As I knew that MOMO was also participating in the festival, I asked him if he would like to collaborate with me using a process similar to the one we used during the PLAF<\/a><\/em> project to design flags. We prepared 50 flags during the first five days and we hung them the sixth day in the afternoon. It took us a couple of hours to hang the flags and we worked without any kind of permit. This project is called Tiensestraat<\/strong><\/em> because it is named after the street where we put the flags. Today, while writing this page, more than a month after the installation, the flags are still flying\u2026<\/p>\n
