Megasculptures

Megasculptures and monumental art

Monumental sculptures by Lucas Van Haegenborgh: stage covers for the Ghent Festival and Night of the Proms, and the twenty-metre-high Bat.

Since the 1980s Lucas has designed monumental, functional sculptures: stage covers for the Ghent Festival and Night of the Proms. Music translated into form, with as little material as possible. The non-functional, twenty-metre-high Bat also belongs to this family.
