Art Project "The Journey of A Rock" 1995
I would like to acquaint you with an unusual and fascinating idea and
would be delighted if I could gain your interest or support.
The Art project, "The Journey of a Rock" is a venture which
proposes to bring a large stone from Boeblingen-Stuttgart/ Germany, to exactly
the opposite side of the globe (170 W 59' / 48 S 41'), via New Zealand.
The rock will be splitted and one half will remain in Boeblingen. The other
half will be brought to the named point in the South Pacific where it will
be sinked.
The Art project brings together people of New Zealand and Germany and
it can also prompte business interests and cutulral exchanges.
The project will begin end of 1995 and end in May 1996. It will mark
the occasion of the Baden-Wuerttemberg horticultural show ("Landesgartenschau")
in Boeblingen, an event which will attract visitors from all over the world.
Behind the idea of my Art project, "The Journey of a Rock",
lies the desire to realise a round-the-world venture which brings together
with a simple, poetic inspiration two defined geographical points
and cultures of two hemispheres. The chief purpose of the realisation of
the project is the involvement of the people of Boeblingen and New Zealand,
as the success of the project will be increased in proportion to the number
of people who are involved, either in thought or in active participation.
It will be particularly exciting that the venture will begin during
the run-up preparations for the horticultural show, so it keeps people in
an anticipated joy for the forthcomimng events starting in may 1996.
The whole project contains several public presentations of the rock
in Germany and New Zealand. During the Landesgartenschau thr rock will be
exposed on the garden area together with a documentation.
In additonen to the presentation a catalogue will be released with the
documentation of the resonance in public and press. There everone will be
honourably mentionend who supported the project e.g. privat persons, institutions
and of course the sponsors.
