Dang’s series of solar-powered dancing flowers – each one containing a solar cell that converts light into electricity and powers a tiny engine – are a quirky, colourful hit, with exhibitions across Europe and the US. Looking every bit like a field of flowers, he has done bright yellow sunflowers and “Dancing for Europe” in multi-colours (with little smiling faces), recently seen in the window of the AXA building in Brussels’ Kunstlaan.
The new forget-me-not installation has been created in collaboration with the Brussels-based Child Focus, the European organisation for missing and exploited children. The forget-me-not is an international symbol of solidarity and hope.
The Royal Greenhouses of Laeken are open to the public for three weeks every year, the only time you can see the awe-inspiring Art Nouveau series of glass houses, home to hundreds of species of flowers and exotic plants. Designed by architect Alphonse Balat in 1873, they were built for King Leopold II on the property of the Royal Palace in the Brussels’ suburb of Laeken. Constructed entirely of steel and glass, remarkable for the period, they are home to staircases, sculpture, fountains and an art studio.
