The garden of Rudy J. Luijters
Garden of De Pont museum, Tilburg (NL)
Rudy Luijters, Spring 2001 - Spring 2003
Commissioner: De Pont museum

Since 1993 the De Pont museum of contemporary art in Tilburg asked different artists to use the outdoor space of the museum as a project site.
In 2001 Rudy Luijters was invited by the de Pont museum. He decided to transform it in a real garden by cultivating edible plants and herbs that could be used in the restaurant of the museum. Drawing on the plantings and the natural changes and occurrences, Luijters followed and recorded the different seasons for a period of two years. To this end he partially reorganized the garden and replanted it. All observations and registrations were reported in the museum’s quarterly news bulletin and in the blog Calendarium. Luijters project showed and articulated the implicit qualities of the garden as such; as a result De Pont continued The garden of Rudy J. Luijters which has been maintained as part of the museum ever since.
