Summer tip 2: The Eng & the Art Of Walking<br />
Right on our backyard starts a very nice, small scale and largely agricultural (well, with a lot of horses)<br />
landscape: the 'Wageningse Eng'. It is always a good place to run, walk or cycle, but this summer there is<br />
something special: different artists from this area forged together a sculpture route.<br />
For soil scientists: the Dutch 'Eng' (or 'Es', or 'Enk') in this context means soil with a higher organic matter<br />
content because of hundreds of years of cultivation and fertilization. 'Eng' also means 'narrow'.<br />
Samenvatting: De Eng & de kunst van het wandelen<br />
Direct in onze achtertuin is een heel mooi stukje landschap: de Wageningse Eng. En deze zomer is er zelfs<br />
een beeldenroute! Meer info (in het Nederlands): www.14karaats.nl<br />
1a & 1b: Gerrit Breman:<br />
Punt en Contrapunt<br />
Wat ik zo bijzonder aan de Eng vind, zijn de tegenstellingen.<br />
Hoog - laag, open- gesloten, ruim- versnipperd. Ik heb twee<br />
punten in het landschap gezet die deze tegenstellingen<br />
verbeelden. Punt aan de Zuidkant en Contrapunt aan de<br />
noordkant van de Eng.<br />
Point and Contrapoint<br />
What I admire most in the Eng are its contradictions. Highlow,<br />
open - closed, wide - fragmented. I put two points in the<br />
landscape to depict this contradictions. 'Point' at the South<br />
side and 'Contrapoint' at the North side of the Eng.<br />
