live art. prevent war
"heritage day 2023" at "The Pit / Die Grube"
Sunday, September 24, 2023 / Opening hours: 10:00 am to ~6.30 pm
"live art. prevent war" is the theme of the "heritage day 2023" in "The Pit / Die Grube". Even if only for a moment, it is especially important now and on this occasion to give space to the voice of Art.
An unmistakable statement/manifesto in this regard is the large-scale sculpture "Die Waffen nieder !" (Lay down your arms !) by Zenita Komad, which was erected especially for this purpose. Through the use of a drone, the text of the artwork is both visible to visitors on site and globally available at the same time via livestream.
Die Waffen nieder! by Zenita Komad
Planning and implementation by Basilis Neururer
and Florian Altenburg
with friendly support from Hubertus Orsini-Rosenberg
