The pillars and me – art education for school classes

June 11th and 25th

The work The Pillars was created in 1978 by Tomou Kobori, Mathias Hietz, Franz Katzgraber and Jun Ohara. Nine simple, cylindrical stone forms of varying heights stand to the right of the gravel road leading to the central communication center. The work requires participation on the part of the viewer, as it consists of two elements: the supporting columns and an (invisible) weight-bearing form. Kobori, who had the idea for this work, imagined a castle in the air. To get to the bottom of this castle in the air, you have to choose the right viewpoint. Only from this point of view are the pillars of the same height and together they can support the castle in the air.

In cooperation with local primary school classes, workshops will be held for children in June, where they can get to know the Lindabrunn Symposium and its sculptures through an active, participatory artistic experience and create their own works.
