Here Comes The Sun

Chris Kabel

At the edge of Oosterpark, on the facade of Metis Montessori College, light plays a special role. Chris Kabel’s artwork (2018) consists of 4,500 glass lenses and filters that mesmerisingly refract and colour light. Attached to perforated panels, these lenses form an undulating pattern that recalls the dance of light particles. This artwork invites you to discover the magic of light and optics. A radiant addition to Amsterdam East!

Every week, het Stadscuratorium posts a Sunday Sculpture on Instagram, the story behind an artwork in public space that gives colour to the city of Amsterdam.
