About the project:
12 Special meeting places in North East Friesland.
In 2012 Keunstwurk and the Landscape Management of Friesland realized
in Northeast Friesland twelve artworks on special places.
An attractive project with a particular result. With support from the province and the six participating municipalities - Achtkarspelen,
Dongeradeel, Dantumadiel, Ferwerderadiel, Kollumerland and tytsjerksteradiel - a meeting established between art and landscape.
The benches, designed by famous and less known designers, invite visitors here take time for the environment and for each other.
They contribute to the accessibility of the landscape and show how public art can enrich space. They tell the story of the location and give meaning to her therewith.
That in itself makes this project all special.
This is bench #12 made by the landscape architect Paul Roncken. (

As a landscape architect makes Paul Roncken inspired by the place itself, especially for art in public space. Because what you see in the first hour, is different than in, say, the third or fourth hour. The location for this cutting is the intersection of the gravel road Achterweg and Middelwei north of Eastermar. On the one hand a private, almost natural oasis in the scenic landscape where walkers and cyclists can enjoy quiet. Alternatively, a diverse place where the typical dike walls and alder webbing from standstill to ask mindfulness.
