Football / Basketball Court
Multi-discplinary artist Marco Oggian was requested by the city of Genk and C-Mine to paint an entire basketball / football field as part of the SHOUT exhibition (2021) at C-Mine among international artists such as Eike König, James Joyce, Anthony Burrill and Morag Myerscough.
The field was painted with the idea in mind to connect C-Mine with the surrounding neighbourhood. Local teens chose phrases with a local connection to be included in the huge mural of 20 by 40 meter. The result is quite colorful and playful and a prime example of Oggian's style. It lights up the neighbourhood and definitely encouraged us to discover the surroundings of C-Mine.
You can visit the court for free and be sure to check out C-Mine and the C-Mine Labyrinth while you're there.
