Mons 2015

Mons 2015 was a cultural project carried out by the city of Mons on the occasion of its designation, along with Plzeň, in the Czech Republic, as a European Capital of Culture in 2015. Its total budget was 70.5 million euros.[1]

History

The project began on 24 January 2015 with the opening celebration which more than 100,000 took part in.[2] At this occasion, the royal couple inaugurated the exposition "Van Gogh in Borinage: The birth of an artist".[3]

Media commentary

Following the emergency dismantling of an architectural work by Arne Quinze – The Passenger – overlooking a traffic lane and intended to last five years, but which showed worrying signs of instability from the first weeks of its installation,[4] the newspaper The Guardian strongly criticized the city of Mons in the context of its European capital of culture projects.[5]

Designed with the collaboration of an independent control body and two engineering firms, a new version of this urban installation was rebuilt at the artist's expense in October of the same year.[6]
