The municipality of Arnhem
has plans to mutilate Peter Struycken's Blue Waves (1977), the largest outdoor environment in the
Netherlands. Originally designed as an outdoor parking area, Blue Waves consists of an undulating pattern of white and blue
paving stones beneath a bridge crossing the Rhine in Arnhem. The municipality
intends to turn the coloured paved structure under the flyovers into
a green area, while leaving the undulation and the fountain
intact. Peter Struycken (1939) is one of the most versatile artists of the
Netherlands and well-known, among other things, for his pioneering
role in digital art. Sign the petition to safe this
exceptional artwork.
