About the artwork
At this gym building on the Aveling in Hoogvliet, a facade relief by artist Julia Braendle has been laid to the left of the entrance. It is a figurative stylized concrete relief of four Climbing children, who adopt a gymnastic posture. They do hare, acrobatics and proudly show their muscles. The relief seems to have been made in a series, because exactly such a work can be found in Charlois at the Krabbendijkestraat 238, presumably from the same mold. Only other manual ceramic inserts have been used, because that is a bit more refined here. The work is strongly linked to the function of the building.
