At the intersection of roads between Margraten (NL-De Plank (B) and Noorbeek-Slenaken is a national monument of great historical value in the municipality of Eijsden-Margraten (NL): the former monastery complex Hoogcruts. After a devastating fire on September 6, 1979, it was a ruin for years. Stichting het Limburgs Landschap (The Limburg Landscape Foundation) bought the ruin in July 2011 and started with the clearing of rubble and repairs, consolidation, restoration and renovation.

During the descent of Mheerelindje hill, passers-by are surprised by the beautiful hilly landscape of Noorbeek (NL). Since 28 May 2016, this panorama has been completed with the name Wijndomein Mergelsberg (Wine Estate Mergelsberg), which belongs to the winery behind the marl blocks. What is special is that the lettering against the marl blocks is made with a 3D printer made from recycled PET bottles. This project originated from a collaboration between artist Jonathan Wanders and winegrower Peter Mergelsberg from Wijndomein Mergelsberg.

On March 24 2016, the artwork Rainbow was realized on the occasion of the TV series ‘Natuurlijk voor elkaar’ (‘Naturally for each other’), at the Meerse Kamp in Stevensweert (NL). Volunteers then laid out a new orchard and placed the artwork together with artist Jonathan Wanders. Rainbow marks the entrance of Stevensweert as a colorful landmark, situated on a large fishing pond in a beautiful, green environment.

The art project Refugees (#1) depicted the timeless story of a recurring reality: the refugee theme. Every day, people all over the world are forced to flee their homes for fear of death or persecution. They only take what they can carry, away from poverty, hopelessness and oppression. When they cross international borders they are called refugees. They cross oceans and minefields. Many will never return. They risk their lives and their future.
