Today students of group 1B of the Fioretti College in Veghel created this instant land-art work behind their school. Together they made a great piece of work! (a path with modern mini-stonehenge)

I was asked as a guest-teacher for this project by Jeanne van Heeswijk, but the students did all the hard work!

‘Path’ (2007) by Pawel Althamer.

For sculpture projects münster 07, Pawel Althamer constructed a path.

Starting where a footpath and bicycle trail meet in a municipal recreation area near Lake Aa, Althamer’s path will lead, through meadows and fields, out of the city. Just short of one kilometre, however, it will abruptly end in the middle of a field of barley. Surprised that the trail has suddenly ended, visitors will have to decide how to react upon this open situation and how to return to the city.

Althamer transformed the space of the prestigious Berlin gallery, the Neugerriemschneider, into a picturesque ruin (2003). The gallery remained open (or rather desolate) 24 hours a day, which was interpreted as a vanitas metaphor, or even a pessimistic forecast for the “art world”.

Old news from 2007;

In Dussen (Brabant, NL) a man drove around in a cornfield for hours on end under the influence of cocaine. The result was the piece above.
