Adri A.C. de Fluiter & Bettino Francini Sculpture

This week the Italien artist Bettino Francini worked in the Netherlands for the project 'Dorpsgezichten'(Village Faces) organised by Foundation Nature Art Drenthe. Francini realized the work 'Contemporano, cross-beams'. It is a wooden structure inspired by the construction method used at old farmhouses in the region (province Drenthe). 'Cross-Beams' is build from oak beams 25 x 26 cm. The beams are connected by steel rods and rope. High about 5.5 mtrs. The artwork is number 11 in Dorpsgezichten. It started in 2009 with 7 sculptures and was on that moment visited by the Dutch queen, Beatrix. The project runs till 2012 when ther will be in total 17 artworks in 8 different small villages belonging to the city of Coevorden. The project is managed by Adri A.C. de Fluiter. He is founder of the foundation.
