Every day when the sun is in the south and has reached its highest point it will pass by the sculpture and an eclipse is insinuated.
This spot will be a meetingpoint, on the one hand it refers to the meeting of the sun and the work and also to the people here meeting the work and any other visitors.
Beckett in his place

Beckett in his place
performance by Leentje Vandenbussche
- Excuse me, I am searching for people who want to wait
in silence for an unknown period of time.
- To wait?
- Yes.
- I hate waiting!
- Maybe it is harder nowadays...
Being part of this project changed my perspective though.
- For how long?
- I can not tell, it would spoil it. But it will end!
- And how about Beckett?
- It is a tribute to him. It was inspired by Waiting for Godot,
revaluing his enlightening masterpiece in public space.
A long-lasting experience + grand panoramic picture.

TRUST (by Annemie Nuyts)
sculpture by Kunstlab
Along the light meridian there is a hidden ally, invisible and hidden in the earth. At times, the earth may seam dead, dry, ...
but there\\\'s always a powerful undertow, a stream of water, a vain hidden in the earth.
The presence of light and water (even hidden) strengthens the faith in nature and in mankind.
The sculpture is made out of two pieces, one in indigo-silver plaster and one in red wax .
The sculpture is presented on a square light-box

Under a polarizing microscope, rock samples called \'thin sections\' look like paintings or jewels. My proposal will enlarge these slides to the size of the monoliths at Stonehenge. They will capture daylight as it is cast through the translucent \'rock samples\' which will appear to hang in mid-air, suspended between the acrylic \'slides\'. The site will provide a space for contemplation as well as concerts (slides will be lit at night). Science and spirituality come together with art as the bridge

Glass is for me a cabinet of observation. It\'s a perpetuel search of light, transparency, shadow, opacity.
The idea of my project would be to propose a visual, sensitive and poetic on the line.
It\'s through a series of 10 glass panels of 35x26x5cm each that i propose a work on the line as graphic element, invisible and imaginary worked hot in the mass.

The clearness of the glass makes the real object disappear completely while the shadows win the game.

It is a kinetic installation of 250 glass crystals.
By the slightest breeze they move , catch the light , hold it for a few moments and let it go.So they create a constantly changing spectacle.
All the crystals together make a cloud.
That stands for the untouchable , thin , variable traveller by wind.
Sometimes the cloud is dark , grey , purple , black , heavy ,destructive and threatening.
Sometimes the cloud is monotonous , grey , smooth like a ceiling.
Sometimes the cloud is white and solitair

Le méridien de lumière comme espace harmonique.
installation by Valérie Vogt
Imaginons que le méridien soit une corde. Que les pays qu’il traverse forment une caisse de résonance. En faisant vibrer cette corde on pourrait définir — comme le fit Pythagore — les intervalles correspondant aux harmoniques émis par la vibration du méridien, établissant ainsi des rapports résonnants entre les lieux.
Une carte postale (ou affiche) sera réalisée pour chaque lieu (voir la liste jointe) souhaitant participer à cette mise en résonance.

my poetic installation is based on my experiments: camera obscura and capturing of light and clouds during years
The project can be realised at Muze’umL and at any other places - together or apart
Two aluminium modules are interconnected:
– the first module is positioned on the meridian: a camera inside record the light of the sun
These signals are transmitted to a projector in the second module or to other media (f.i.web)
- the second module is placed in a public space

Dear,
The work of art \' between lines\' represents \' the light meridian\' from the entrance of the casino in Blankenberge to the upcoming tide line. The line consists out of hundreds upside down buckets of sand...
The work is temporary, it will be setup at the low tide and will be taken back by the sea at the high tide.
It can be realised together with people who are passing by, so that it\'s a work from the people for the people.
In Palomos the same project can also be realized.

Watertekort (by Frieda Geertsen)
installation by Kunstlab
A pruned branch is shortly lifted up from the ground to give prominence to the impossibility to reach water. The construction refers contradictory to garden stakes for young trees helping their roots growing. Irreversibly cut short from his sap flow, all his side branches seem seeking and supplicate for water. In a total absurd way, equipped with small tubes, funnels and traps they are trying to catch water. The assemblage stands to broach the subject of poignant water shortage in the world.

We are caught in a web, while hanging free, moving in a breeze and reflecting the rays of light. Threads of gleaming copper with glittering glass in the ever changing direction of he sun. The way the copper wraps around the glass is reminiscent of a gift. The structure itself can represent either the circulatory system, the neural network or waterways looking from high above, flows like a stream, is bendable, embraces glass like a river would a stone.

Three old bicycle lights are installed on a piece of root wood. That’s how the idea of light originates within this composition. Two sawn tree trunks form together a tension that sends energy to the root wood generate the suggestion of light.
This energy can rather be found in the weathering of the wood that stands in contact with a container of water in which the whole is placed. The piece of wood with the gap refers to the incidence of the light meridian line.

The light meridian connects places and people. The Leaves symbolize the countless lives (in constant change) that are touched by the light meridian. They are beautiful in all there diversity. This work is an art intervention: waiting, changing, creating, giving back. Pictures will be the only proof this work ever existed. The rectangular shape forms a sharp contradiction within the natural environment and demonstrates human artificial interference within the natural landscape.

Because the lightmeridian on beautiful and significant places is best seen from a height, we want to put towers on this line. These should channel the view along the line and the visitor can see the line at different heights. The high U-shape of the passages, both the horizontal and those with the stairs, give a good safety feel to the visitor. Tower 2 has a straight shape and on different levels, the visitor can look to the other sides through the split in the wall. Upside 360 degrees panorama.

The sea has been the main inspiration in my paintings since 2012. It’s a rough research where I try to capture and model water in all its forms. ‘The Light Meridian as light line with its artistic beacons’ is always present in my research. The selected works should be exhibited in one room, as one story. One of the works is sawn in half – connected with hinges – and placed in the corner of the room. The corner of the room represents the virtual line, expanding its meaning: Light Meridian.

Totalidad [ Humanité-Spiritualité]

The union in all its perfection, its totality just being this wonderful coming together of earthly matter and divine spirit. My entire vision of the universe, of the world, of mankind, of life and of the spirit can be found in these basic shapes, because they’re the essence, the source, the beginning, the departure, creation. And from then on, everything starts growing, everything comes together and the whole comes into being.
All is simply order and beauty, plenitude and totality.
Analemmatic sundial:
This sundial is a horizontal type, showing the hours from time of earliest sunrise to time of latest sunset. A person standing on the dial and moving on scales of dates his shadow indicates the sun time. The scale of date 80 cm x 162 cm is north-south oriented on the local light meridian 3°7’45”. The hour points are on an ellipse, noon time is on the north side of the date scale, 6h on the west and 18h on the east side.A person stands on the scale on the current date with his back side to the south while his shadow is pointing to the sun time.
The surface of this sundial is within 700 cm x 400 cm, easy to layout and ideal for open public places without disturbing shadow from threes or building.

Ring sundial with noon-analemma:
This sundial has a noon-analemma, 12-hour noon line and date lines caved in stone, put in a fixed position and precisely oriented to the south direction.
The dial is named “The eye of time” and shows the difference between the sun time when the sun crossing the 3°7’45” lightmeridian and the corresponding clock or watch time of 11h47m29s UT.
The inner side of the dial is a horizontal cylinder 64,5cm in diameter and 20cm in height. The outer is elliptical shaped in analogy with the Earth’s orbit around the sun.
The sun shining through a tiny hole in the ring wall cast a beam of light on the inner surface of the ring crosses the analemma to the current date, it is noon by watch time rather than by sundial time.
The analemma has the form of an elongated figure eight showing the sun running ahead or behind our clock time during a whole year.

The hut as a sweat lodge proposes a ritual hut to be installed along the light meridian for public and collective use for purification and for story telling. To be constructed out of natural elements. This idea has also been used by Mario Merz by arte povera and his igloo concepts during the 60s.

As a basis for this sculpture I chose a classic lamppost, these kind of posts are very recognisable, in this case, however, the pole stands slightly angled and in a place where normally no lamp post are expected. This underlines, on one hand, a kind of dynamism and, on the other hand, a kind of vulnerability: what happened so that the pole isn\'t straight?
The neon is made of yellow, dark green, light green and light blue colors used in a kind of dancing movement around the lamppost.

LIGHT - MERIDIAN - FORM ON A LINE
installation by Marjan Verhaeghe
From a visual point of view, it\'s interesting to make the meridian, a virtual line, noticeable in a subtle way and at the same time to involve the surrounding biotope into the form: landscape, cityscape, interior of a building,...
The texture with its open structure allows an interaction with the environment, while the lineation of the form by stretching it will focus on the meridian. When standing in the middle of the form, on the crossing of the stretched lines above you and these on the ground level indicating your position on the meridian, you are at the same time enclosed from and offered a different point of view on the outer world around the form.
The wind and other natural phenomena will be playing with the shape of the form.
The tissue is handmade by using half knots and by working without seam. As a result the form will be very stretchable and supple. And as result of the stretching the knots will relocate and accentuate the dynamic of the form.
The form will be made of a pure synthetic rope / cord as to be not elastic and strong. It will refer to the light by its color and by its reflection: white, silver-gray, lilac.
The form will be hanging on 2 poles. For this purpose we will use steel cable, cable clamps and turnbuckles.
The lower part of the form will be stretched at right angles and connected to the ground with anchors.
The final decision about measures, material and color will depend on the chosen location, budget and the time span.

The performance consists in unraveling a string while walking in the landscape in order to let a shape in dialog with the place’s topography appear. As a result, a 100 lines installation materialising the trace of my passage. The shape will emerge slowly, according to my movements, refering to the very notions of landscape : mental construction, horizon, point of view. As a palimpest, it suggests to re-draw on the existing and to use the terrain as a support to give it a new reading.

Arquitecturalmente hablando, hay una gran conexión entre la forma de las agujas y “los faros”.
El grupo de 5 estatuas de madera son parcialmente policromada y consiguió un tratamiento de profundidad.

Agujas para remendar @ Torroella de Montgri
sculpture by Philippe Gouwy
Entre las bahías protegidas de la costa Catalana los pescadores fundaron pueblos y ciudades donde encontraron sus ingresos.
El icono para visualizar un pescador es la aguja para remendar.
La forma de la escultura es muy importante como señal y como referencia “a casa”.

Boetnaalden, sculpturen voor de Sint-Antoniuskerk Blankenberge
De half ingemetselde zuil, is duidelijk het symbool voor de gezamenlijke geschiedenis van wederzijdse steun. De boetnaald, waarmee visnetten hersteld worden, is de sterkst mogelijke icoon om vissers te visualiseren.
De boetnaalden hebben architecturale vormverwijzingen naar de gotische spitsbogen & naar vuurtorens.
De groep van 5 houten beelden zijn gedeeltelijk gepolychromeerd en kregen een dieptebehandeling (ref. hout Singel A’pen)

ML^MARK
sculpture by Jean-Pierre Galeyn
this simple form, inspired by a child design is efficient as landmark on the light-meridian-line. robust and secure with a large screw in rural soil.
as a meridian is a longitude which marks on the ground the real noon, the shadow of the construction on real noon lies exactly in the extension of the sculpture itself.
on the floor info about the LML will be painted. dimensions: 250 x 250 cm and 300 cm high // total weight is 300 kilo.

Meridian Thread
sculpture by Mirosław Struzik
Idea of my project is based on looking through a needle hole. By looking through numerous (at least two) needles placed in straight line one can imagine an invisible thread (a meridian) going through.
Sculpture is interactive and encourages viewer to interact.
Needles can be made from acidresistant stainless steel (silver), bronze (gold) or anoded
aluminium (white or grey).
Base and the hole of the needle can be illuminated during the night. One needle is about 2,1m – 2,3m high.

In front of an indifferent nature, the human drama is happening.
In fact, I did this film against the one I did before which was a travel in car where we see only clouds too, so the shot was moving and it was very narrative (a love story) and there was somme music (Beethoven quartet).
So for this film, it was how to tell a story (with clouds again) without moving the camera and with only one word.

This project combines my experience with deep meditations, my first trip to Asia and collaborating with artists from all over the world. It shows the surrounding nature, the nature of people and the nature within myself.

Wolken
by Luc De Backer (BE)
Wolken
installation by Luc De Backer
Mijn voorstel is tegelijk eenvoudig en complex. Het gaat om een opblaasbare “linnen” wolk die klein in vervoer en groots in “geste” is. De wolk als metafoor voor beweging, transitie, migratie en transmigratie van mensen, ideeen, culturen, gebruiken, religies, etc.
Mijn wolk is overal “inzetbaar” en bestaat uit 2 delen:
1.Ik lever de “format”, nl. een wolk op schragen waarin mensen mbv. een ladder naar boven kunnen in de wolk. De wolk is dubbelwandig. In de buik van de wolk kan men iets beleven.
2.Daar waar de wolk naar toereist wordt er contact gezocht met lokale kunstenaar. Daarbij denk ik zowel aan VJ-kunstenaar en/of musici. De wolk komt pas tot leven en krijgt pas betekenis met lokale “geluiden”.
De wolk slokt al deze geluiden op in zijn innerlijke geheugen en vertrekt weer naar een andere lokatie.
De installatie kan “turnkey” worden aangeleverd incl. een offerte voor plaatsing, transport en beveiliging.
Afmetingen:
Ca. 8 meter lang en 4 meter hoog.
