WAD Sculptures II The garden of sculptures from World Art Delft (WAD) glorifies for the first time in2010 during a major exhibition of sculptures, the first edition of WAD Sculptures.Sculptors from home and abroad got their own beautiful location for their sculptures,installations and land art.It has even resulted in the purchase of Stalks in the Morninglight of Roel Teeuwen

by the Circle of Friends of World Art Delft. The blue stalks stay permanently withpride alongside the lake as a beacon for the white swan who lives there.

The great interest, and thus the success, has led to a second edition. Besides bigsculptures of granite and steel, there are smaller ones of ceramic, bronze and wood.And of course no such exhibition should be without land art. The Belgian sculptorMarc de Roover will realize his draft of an igloo within a piece of landscape of WorldArt Delft. The vocabulary of his environmental work is simple and limited,nevertheless rich and dynamic.

This second edition of WAD Sculptures is again an overture to the large-scale plan

of Land Art Delft. This project has arisen from a cooperation of World Art Delft andthe University of Technology of Delft.Land Art Delft recognizes in its mission an aim at symbiosis between man, art andnature in the beautiful countryside of moors and meadows between Delft andRotterdam.

This plan is based on a new environmental vision for this area. It gives a concreteshape to ideas that still alive to tackle completely the Midden-Delfland area andtransform it into a place for preserving the open landscape. This should create alandscape in which art of international stature is involved and which gets a greatasset to the urban agglomeration. This spot should be put on the map and should

be open to a wide audience. And youngsters will get their attention too, so theycan participate in an active way. In short, Land Art Delft makes the blank scenerymore beautiful.World Art Delft is part of the steering committee, remains involved in thedevelopment of the plan and monitors the quality of embedding the culture parkto its surroundings.

WAD Sculptures II is once again a breeding ground for the long term to fulfill theabove ideals. Nature facilitates the arts, thus creating a dialogue with nature.
