Wie auf Erden, so im Himmel, durch die Lüfte

Barbara Henning

The artist Henning hoisted a flag decorated with fragments of the sky. This visual element can be seen from afar and retrieves a way of communication between alpine pastures of an earlier era (the waving of sheets). This element is linked to an acoustic collage, of which the sounds are also relied to communication: you can hear tones that go from yodelling to phone conversations. With her work the artist approached the theme of borders by trying to cross them with the help of communication.

Exhibit place San Martin de Tor

The birthplace of internationally renowned pop artist Gilbert Prousch (from the artist duo "Gilbert & George"), in the centre of San Martin de Tor - The artist Gilbert Prousch was born in this house, in the centre of San Martin de Tor, on the 17th of September 1943, exactly seventy years ago. Gilbert Prousch teamed up with British artist George Passmor to form the world's most famous artist duo, "Gilbert & George". The pop artist's link to his hometown has faded over the years. Only a single sculpture stands to mark the creative energy of his youth: his portrayal of the Madonna is still kept in San Martin de Tor.
