Participant@laurie e Glad you’re playing #publicartfinder again this year! Love your first art find. I mistakenly unfollowed you on Strava, trying to indicate you as a “favorite” so that you’d come up at the top of my feed. Would you be so kind as to accept my follow request?

This raised fist, made of “corten steel”, was constructed with the artist/designer by welders from a Renault plant in Vilvoorde, Belgium that was closed in 1997. It commemorates the struggles of the laborers who lost their jobs when the plant. https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strijd_voor_Arbeid

ParticipantOn time, today! January 3…but, per the rules, the ride despite being over 10km, was less than 10 miles.
Just a random piece of art hung on a former primary school, now used for adult education, in Zaventem, Belgium. Located at Spoorwegstraat 25.

ParticipantSecond ride of the day (January 3), with another piece of public art. This one is not so public, as it is within the NATO HQ complex, and access to it requires permission (such as employees, or pre-approved visitors). And, per the rules, the ride despite being over 10km, was less than 10 miles.
A mosaic mural, 50 meters long and 2 meters high, consisting of 200 two-sided mosaic panels that are each 50 cm wide. It was originally installed the Turkish Exhibition pavilion along with a restaurant in 1958 at the Brussels International Expo. One of the International Staff was so impressed with it, they requested for it to be installed in the original permanent NATO HQ in Paris after the expo was finished. It was moved twice more after: first to the temporary NATO HQ when it moved to Brussels in 1967, and then to the second permanent HQ after 51 years in 2018 where it now stands.
