Rare record on the planned, but never realized, project ‘Zero op Zee’ (Zero on Sea) meant to take place in 1966 on the Scheveningen Pier. Instead, an exhibition featuring models and sketches took place at Galerij Orez in The Hague in 1966. Participating artists were Lucio Fontana, Heinz Mack, Otto Piene, Günther Uecker, Jan Hendrikse, Jan Schoonhoven, Henk Peeters, Yves Klein, Yayoi Kusama et al. 'The project was an optimal expression of their optimism about the possibilities of technology and their dedication to integrate art into everyday reality'. (C. Huizing, T. Visser. Nul = 0, Stedelijk Schiedam, 2011.)
