SunGlacier
Interviewer: Maarten Westerveen (VPRO)
For his latest project ‘SunGlacier’, Ap Verheggen is planning on creating a
glacier in the desert. The more sunrays the sculpture catches, the more
ice it will produce. Experiencing this contradictory or at least
counterintuitive response, the artist hopes to help beholders shift
their mindset to the impossible, the unimaginable.
