Der Vogel (bird), Armando, 2012, bronze ARTZUID, the Amsterdam Sculpture Biennale is celebrating its 9th season. I’ve been lucky to have attended the last three outdoor exhibitions in 2021, 2023 and now, 2025. The sculptures are on display in Amsterdam Zuid particularly in the neighborhoods of Apollolaan and Minervalaan where towering trees form the backdrop for the seventy sculptural pieces by established international artists as well as Dutch artists. This year’s edition includes works by Jaume Plensa, Nelson Carrilho and Jean Marie Appriou. The sculptural pieces in the free outdoor exhibition are thought provoking, engaging and fun as you’ll see from the images I’ve posted here. Artzuid 2025 runs through September 21, 2025.  Yolandita, Jaume Plensa, 2024, bronze Inhebantu from the Kuchu Eastern Busoga Kingdom, Leilah Babirye, 2023-2024 glazed ceramic, wire, bicycle tire inner tubes and found objects The Ones XI, Mickey Hoogendijk, 2024, bronze Horizons, Jean Marie Appriou, 2023,...
