Galvanized steel series: Atomic Haystack, 1982-83
In the final years of his life, Isamu Noguchi made delicate sculptures from industrial materials, merging mass production with artisanal craftsmanship. The sculptures encourage people to look at the context: everything that is happening around the work. For Noguchi, a work of art is never truly finished. The creative process continues when someone views it, as the piece interacts with its surroundings.

Play Sculpture, 1965-80
There are no rules. For Isamu Noguchi, that is the only rule when interacting with his Play Sculpture from 1965-80. This work is appearing for the first time in Belgium. Touch it, climb on it, have fun! The attractive red coil invites people to get together and gather new experiences. It connects people with the space, giving new meaning to the place where it stands.
