Coolcuyle

Kunstenaar Jan Poncelet beschilderde deze 3 elektriciteitskasten in het kader van het 'Tour Elentrik'-project van Treepack.

‘Coolcuyle’ is een oud Nederlands dialectwoord voor koolmijn. Je vindt de werken dan ook niet toevallig aan de voormalige steenkoolmijn van Zolder, waar op 62 jaar tijd op 900 meter diepte zo'n 90.000 ton steenkool werd bovengehaald.

Artist Jan Poncelet painted these 3 power cabinets as part of Treepack's ‘Tour Elentrik’ project.

‘Coolcuyle’ is an old Dutch dialect word for coal mine. So it's no coincidence that the works are located at the former Zolder coal mine, where some 90,000 tonnes of coal were brought to the surface at a depth of 900 metres over 62 years.
