====Open-air art==== The Eindhoven [[public space]] contains many forms of artistic expression (a book published by the Eindhoven tourist board records 550 {{as of|2001|lc=true}} and more have been added since), with high "concentrations" of them in the [[parks]]. The [[Stadswandelpark]] for instance, contains over 30 works of [[modern art]]. There are also several other works of art on permanent display throughout the city, such as ''Flying Pins'' (by [[Claes Oldenburg]] and [[Coosje van Bruggen]], who considered the location on the southern stretch of the John F. Kennedylaan to be like a [[bowling alley]]) and ''Swing'' (a construct on the Karel de Grotelaan, which morphs into different geometric shapes as you move around it). There are also a number of statues of famous city inhabitants, such as [[Johan Frederik Rudolph van Hooff|Jan van Hooff]] (by [[Auke Hettema]], 1992) and [[Frits Philips]] (by [[Kees Verkade]]) on the Market Square. There is a statue of [[Anton Philips]] in front of the central railway station. [[File:Piazza Center Eindhoven.jpg|thumbnail|left|Piazza Centre as seen from Demer]] Eindhoven is also, to some degree, open to forms of impromptu and alternative art. For example, the [[Berenkuil (Eindhoven)|Berenkuil]] is a freezone for [[graffiti]] artists in the city. ===== Light art ===== [[Strijp-S]] is a place for experimentation with [[Light-emitting diode|LED]] lighting, which keeps the historic connection with Philips' past.<ref>'[http://www.ed.nl/regio/eindhoven/lichtproject-op-strijp-s-pakt-auroralia-award-in-lyon-1.4663520 Lichtproject op Strijp-S pakt Auroralia Award in Lyon]', ''Eindhovens Dagblad''.</ref> Some [[light art]] includes the project '''Fakkel''' by Har Hollands. In the underground passage to NatLab artist [[Daan Roosegaarde]] installed his project '''Crystal'''. Strijp-S is a regular location for the light festival [[GLOW Festival Eindhoven|GLOW]].<ref>'[http://www.ed.nl/extra/glow/herbeleef-glow-eindhoven-routes-en-hoogtepunten-door-de-jaren-heen-1.4075747 Herbeleef Glow Eindhoven: Routes en hoogtepunten door de jaren heen]', ''Eindhovens Dagblad''.</ref><ref>'[http://www.ed.nl/extra/glow/licht-zien-voelen-en-zelfs-opslaan-op-glow-next-1.4615697 Licht zien, voelen en zelfs opslaan op Glow Next]', ''Eindhovens Dagblad''.</ref>
