De Dienstcatalogus is a response to the project de Dienst (2004-2005), conceived by artist and graphic designer
Martijn Engelbregt.
Over the period of a year, de Dienst was busy selecting a work of art for the new building for the Lower House of the Dutch Parliament. A national appeal brought in 552 proposals for works of art, from professional artists but mainly from amateurs and lay people. The book presents all the proposals and shows how selection was made. | back
