In Gent braucht man also nicht notwendigerweise ein Museum zu besuchen, um Kunst genießen zu können. Während dieses Spaziergangs durch die Stadtmitte entdecken Sie Kunstwerke im öffentlichen Raum. Diese Kunstwerke wurden auf Initiative mehrerer Auftraggeber, wie der Stadt Gent, der Universität oder einiger Privatpersonen, realisiert, aber sie haben Eines gemeinsam: Sie können kostenlos bewundert werden. Manche Werke werden bewundert, andere erregen Aufsehen, aber das gehört einfach zur Genter DNA! Viel Spaß! 2,3 km - 3000 Schritte <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--full"> <div class="field field--name-field-heading field--type-heading field--label-hidden field__item"><h2>&#039;Het beeld van de Mensenrechten&#039; vom bildenden Künstler MaRf.</h2> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><span><span><span>Das erste Kunstwerk, das Sie entdecken, befindet sich in der Mitte der Grasfläche hinter der <a href="https://visit.gent.be/de/staunen-erleben/die-grafenburg-die-burg-gent">Grafenburg</a>: <em>Het beeld van de Mensenrechten</em> vom bildenden Künstler MaRf.

Nachts brennt selbstverständlich die Straßenbeleuchtung sowieso. Deswegen werden die Lichter bei einer Geburt nachts kurz ausgeschaltet.

• 5245 articleBody "Je loopt er zonder het te weten vaak voorbij maar er zijn heel veel prachtige kunstwerken die voor iedereen zichtbaar zijn in de Gentse straten, parken en pleinen. In Gent hoef je dan ook niet noodzakelijk naar een museum om te genieten van kunst. Op deze wandeling door het centrum ontdek je kunstwerken in de openbare ruimte. Deze kunstwerken kwamen tot stand op initiatief van verschillende opdrachtgevers zoals de stad Gent, de universiteit of op privé-initiatief maar hun gemeenschappelijk kenmerk is dat ze gratis te zien zijn. Sommige werken lokken bewondering uit, sommige lokken een polemiek uit maar dat is eigen aan het Gentse DNA!

These artworks were created on the initiative of various commissioners, such as the city of Ghent, Ghent University or private individuals, but you can see them all free of charge. Some of these pieces elicit admiration, while others provoke discussion, but that is inherent in Ghent's DNA!

L’œuvre est reliée aux maternités gantoises. Les parents peuvent appuyer sur un interrupteur à la maternité, ce qui a pour effet d’allumer les lampadaires. La nuit, lorsque l’éclairage est allumé, il s’éteint un moment à chaque naissance. À l’origine, l’œuvre avait été placée sur le Vrijdagmarkt, à l’occasion du festival « Over the Edges » en 2000.</span></span></span></p></div> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--image paragraph--view-mode--full"> <figure> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__item"> <div> <div class="field field--name-field-media-image field--type-image-with-copyright field--label-hidden field__item"> <img loading="lazy" data-copyright="©VisitGent" title="©VisitGent" src="/sites/default/files/styles/paragraph_image/public/media/img/2021-02/browse%20%2819%29.jpg?itok=YgRy6HQd" width="742" height="480" alt="Garutti" class="image-style-paragraph-image" loading="lazy" /> </div> </div> </div> <figcaption></figcaption> </figure> </div> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--text paragraph--view-mode--full"> <div class="field field--name-field-heading field--type-heading field--label-hidden field__item"><h2>De mens-vogel de l’artiste Jeffrie</h2> </div> <div class="clearfix text-formatted field field--name-field-text field--type-text-long field--label-hidden field__item"><p><span><span><span>Traversez le Pont aux Exécutions (<em>Hoofdbrug</em>) qui surplombe la Lieve et tournez à gauche sur la Jan Breydelstraat.

Cette œuvre fait partie de la promenade « Ghent by Night ». Il s’agit d’une installation lumineuse intitulée <em>Les oiseaux bleus</em>. L’œuvre est inspirée de la pièce de théâtre <em>L’oiseau bleu</em> de Maurice Maeterlinck, Gantois lauréat du prix Nobel de littérature. La pièce parle de la quête du bonheur symbolisé par un petit oiseau bleu.
