CONCEPT
While the undulating roof provides a new layer over the station area, the art makes you aware of the many layers of time that lie beneath it. The station represents a journey from past to future; art depicts this journey by connecting solid materials, traditional craftsmanship and primordial forms from the cosmic system with digital media, innovative techniques and contemporary visual language. Related to travel, communication and the city of Groningen.
