Commissioned Art Projects

Driessens & Verstappen have received several commissions from (semi) public government institutions. Occasionally it involved designing a coin, but most often it involved a site-specific artwork in or outside the institutional building:

The Birth Coin princess Amalia (2004) was issued on the occasion of the birth of the throne's heir, commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Finance.

E-volver (2006) is an interactive site-specific art installation for the Research Labs of the LUMC Leiden University Medical Center. The users of the building influence the evolving images via touch screens.

Mirroring Water (2012) is a data responsive artwork for the WMCN, the Dutch Water Management Center in Lelystad. The video installation responds to current weather conditions and water levels.

EquilArbre (2023) is a long term artistic experiment with trees in cylindrical pots, installed at ILVO, the Flanders Institute for Agricultural, Fisheries and Food Research.
