CHEWING GUM SCULPTURE

A huge sculpture that captures a figure in a show of victory incorporates the efforts of over 3000 students along with a rather unorthodox medium. Chewing gum was used to create this work of art that symbolizes the union of two art colleges in the Netherlands. The DNA of students from Eindhovense School and SintLucas is now part of the sculpture (part of the new campaign developed by KesselsKramer) being shown at a Strijp S festival in Eindhoven.
