Iwan Smit's proposal became the first of a series of creative spaces at CIC as part of our CIC X Arttenders Art at Work Project. CIC wanted to offer their entrepreneurs a communal space in which they can relax and play games, otherwise known as the Game Room. For CIC and Arttenders, Iwan Smit created an installation titled 'Olympic Wasteland'.

Iwan Smit is an artist extraordinaire in the Rotterdam art scene. He can be identified by his bold and unique style. His colorful mind unfolds through illustrations, sculptures and paintings. He describes: "Olympic Wasteland depicts a landscape once occupied by athletes. What remains is this serene world where long forgotten artifacts transform their surroundings in a garden of sculptures."
