Gent Silhouet

Kruf, J. (2022). Gent Silhouet [fine art print]. Breda” Privécollectie.

Een silhouet in het centrum van de stad Gent, Vlaanderen, België. Eens was zij het bestuurlijke centrum van Europa in de vroege 16e eeuw. Nu is zij nog steeds een prachtige en vooral goed bestuurde stad. Het is stil op deze vroege ochtend in januari. Er zijn nog geen mensen op straat.

64 Governments

 
A still reminder on the office. Society seen from above. From a citizen, street or society perspective, one can count 64 governments active at the same time. Need care? There are many offices, companies and subsystems busy. Stop at one point in a street and count the different operational policy plans or consider the distinct accent of responsibilities in the diverse governmental layers and teams of mayors, aldermen, deputies or ministers. One government does not exist, only in our minds. 64 is magic and, at the same time, from a governance perspective, an impossible number because of the fragmentation and segmentation of responsibilities, rules and regulations. It is the chessboard in a new perspective. Bibliography Kruf, J. (2017) 64 Governments [fine art print]. Breda: Private collection.

Connected

In the old town of Hondarribia, Spain, this fine wiring pattern forms the infrastructure for connecting streets, houses and people. Quite a palette. Straight forward and essential.

Two Neighbours

In the old center of Verona we came along this palette of two neighbours. Number 8 and number 10. It is almost a painting where materials tell their stories.

Verona classic

During I visit to the inner city of Verona this classic wall we passed in a small street. Quit a colour palette. Authentic. It is almost a form of art. The balance of its geometrics gives peace of mind.  Just this piece of wall.
