Art Lovers #15 brings artist Carolien Adriaansche to The Hague University of Applied Sciences. Her work, The Blue City, is part of Sustainable Monday.

You can help build the artwork The Blue City. Pick pieces of plastic from the pile next to the artwork as building blocks and contribute to the landscape the artist has inspired.

According to Statistics Netherlands (CBS), 8.2 billion kilos of household waste has been collected in the Netherlands in 2024. That is approximately 459 kilograms of waste per inhabitant. A substantial portion of this is plastic.

Artist Carolien Adriaansche transforms this plastic into impressive sculptures. She creates skylines, animals, and clouds, among other things.

Adriaansche has been creating art with plastic waste for over 30 years. Collecting and selecting plastic waste based on shape, color, and size is an essential part of her work as an artist. She works very meticulously, searching for plastic waste with a specific shape or color that matches what she envisions.

She sees her artwork as an invitation to reflect on our lifestyles and our responsibility to protect the planet.

Carolien Adriaansche's work has been exhibited at Kunstmuseum Den Haag, Groninger Museum, and the Godsbanen cultural center in Aarhus, Denmark. Adriaansche lives and works in The Hague.

The artist will be present during Sustainable Monday.

Art Lovers

This school year, we will once again be bringing an extraordinary Art Lovers program.

Every time Art Lovers will be present in the Atrium for a whole day, and you can just drop by.
