Nicolás García Uriburu's Coloration of Port Antwerp in 1974 marked another iteration of Uriburu’s series of interventions into public space. The action underscored the junction of nature and industrial infrastructure in a pivotal global trade hub.
Impacted by his architectural background as well as his ongoing confrontation against large industry for its environmental transgressions, Uriburu's intervention engaged with the industrial landscape, prompting reflection on the environmental implications of global commerce and industrialization. By intervening in the setting of economic trade, his work challenged prevailing views on urban ecology and invited contemplation on the harmony between nature and industrial progress.
