I do love art but have my preferences. As a dog you know. Same holds for my friend Binkie. We are crazy about the ARTZUID because it is located outside, along a nice walking path and we can explore art from all possible angles.
By the way, there is a really great app for people. It tells them stuff about the artwork while they stand in front of it. Binkie and I prefer approaching the art intuitively and the old school way.
Let’s see…Hmm, literally the whole route map is marked in red. Man, these sculptures are everywhere. I can’t walk no dogdamn 5 kilometers. We decided to take it easy and just present our favorites.

Alrighty. Here we go. Look at these guys. Chilling out on the patio of the info pavilion. Come on Binkie, who do you think you are…a Playboy Bunny or what?? You need to control yourself girl!
Where was I? Oh yeah, you should check out the pavillion. Smells fantastic. They have coffee and cake and the ladies inside were really nice to us.
Our special ‘dogback mountain’ moment. Don’t we look sublime on our fellow’s back? Oh. This is supposed to be a fox? No problem… foxes, dogs…we are all one big family, right my brother?
Binkieee!!! How do we get back down here?
Love this piece. It is abstract and figurative at the same time. The shape and color remind me of an endless, eternal…Wait a minute. Let me pick up the aroma. Naaa, doesn’t match. The flavor needs some extra work guys.
Yes Baby! What’s cooking? This kitchen installation is on its way to become my favorite work. I mean there’s no better place than the kitchen, we can all agree on that. My mouth starts watering. Let’s check out what’s in the pots….
There is nothing in it?! You must be kidding me!!
A giant golden Zucchini named Kevin. Why not. We started a little contest who can stand on Kevin longer. Look at my posture…totally non-chalant. As if it’s a piece of cake for me.
Hey Binkie, stop looking at yourself and concentrate. So typical, she loves the bling bling!
There is a strange odor in the air, do you smell it Binkie? Trying to figure out where the ‘Big Psycho’ artwork is located. It is supposed to be around here….
This is breathtaking! The beauty and expression of this work are extraordinary. The strong energy makes me feel EMPOWERED.
Little joke for the end. What do you think? Would I pass for a piece of art?

Yesss Binkie, I am coming… Binkie is rolling her eyes. She thinks it’s not funny.
