City library "De Krook" was built in 2017 by architects Coussée & Goris and Aranda Pigam Vilalta Arquitectes. 
The sculpture group in front, 3 metres high, is a work by artist Michaël Borremans*. It shows a group of 4 people, each with a different skin colour, leaning their heads against each other. The work symbolizes the exchange of knowledge and culture at the Krook.  #Ghent  #Trovember  #Architecture  #Art

*Michaël Borremans is a Belgian painter and sculptor. Borremans' work can be seen in the collections of, among others, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Art Institute of Chicago.
Not everything is medieval in the city centre. “De Krook”, the new public library, opened in March 2017. #architecture #Ghent  #Trovember
