Tour de France Medaille

Luuk Bode

During the first weekend of juli 2010 Rotterdam hosted le Grand Depart, the start of the Tour de France. The world was watching as the cyclists rode the first kilometers through the city. A large part of the parcours was situated in the borough of Feijenoord. The executive board of this proud borough asked for a permanent memory of the Tour de France in Rotterdam. The artwork, shaped like a medal was recently revealed at the Hillelaan, near metro station Rijnhaven. The artwork by artist Luuk Bode embodies speed and strength, which fits perfectly with the energetic appearance of the Tour the France. For this project, Mothership acted as curator and producer.
