 Finissage for the temporary sculpture "Korridor" on 01 November 2015 Sunday 01
November 2015 saw the closing event for the temporary sculpture "Korridor" of the artists´ group Konsortium which had been on display at the sculptures
park Moltkeplatz for the past year. Korridor will be dismantled during November.
Even though there were numerous other events in town, more than 60
visitors followed the invitation of the association Kunst am
Moltkeplatz KaM e.V. to bid farewell to this
fifth art work within the series young Art at the Moltkeplatz / junge Kunst am Moltkeplatz. Enjoying
the late autumn sun in the park visitors listened to the introduction,
and witnessed an interesting discussion round - chaired by Harald
Goebell - with the three artists Lars
Breuer, Sebastian Freytag, and Guido Münch, their "Korridor", and their
wider ideas. This was followed by an informal get-together under the
beautiful trees with Indian Summer-like foliage.

Sunday 30 Nov 2014 was the opening for the exhibiton of the temporary work "Korridor" of the artists´s group "Konsortium". This work is the fifth within the project young Art At The Moltkeplatz / junge Kunst am Moltkeplatz. Dr Marcel Schumacher (Curator for Contemporary Art, Museum Folkwang) provided the introduction. The parish hall of the SELK Church at the Moltkeplatz was the venue for the subsequent gathering.
 As a part of his introduction to "Korridor" the curator Dr Marcel Schumacher writes:
Die Wiese, die Baumreihen, dazwischen Skulpturen, Passanten schlendern daran vorbei, die Mitte des öffentlichen Raumes des Moltkeplatzes ist gewöhnlicher Weise leer ... Die Außeninstallation der Künstlergruppe Konsortium bricht diese alltägliche Idylle auf: Auf der Rasenfläche haben sie eine Installation aus zwei Wandecken, eine übermannshohe Architektur errichtet. ...
und Die Flächen der Wände erregen schon von weitem Aufmerksamkeit: Auf der dunkel changierenden Fläche leuchten weiße Formen und Linien. Auf der einen Seite sieht man eine abstrakte Malerei, ein Kreis, Dreiecke, zerschnittene Formen. Die Malerei hat hier den Museumsraum verlassen und tritt als Wandmalerei in den Außenraum. Skulptur und Malerei greifen ineinander. ... For the full text (in German) click here. during 18 - 30 Nov 2014, the artists´ trio "Konsortium" configured the exterior of the "Korridor"
on 14 Nov 2014 the wooden structure of the "Korridor" was erected First a specialized timber construction company set up the separate parts of the wooden structure, joined everything together, and pegged them down securely. The second step then comprised the sheathing of the whole structure. The artists of the "Konsortium" and KaM members and supports were able to help along. Finally the artists applied a first coating of paint. When the sun set these steps towards the new temporary sculpture were finished. 
on 30 Oct 2014 a public discussion with the artists´ group "Konsortium" was held. (For an announcement in the WAZ newspaper of 29 Oct 2014 click here. Unfortunately, Dr. Marcel Schumacher, curator at the Museum Folkwang, had to cancel his attendace at short notice.) The artists´ group presented both some of their previous works, and their ideas and plans for the Moltkeplatz. Also, draft images of the proposed work were shown. Participants - who filled up the parish hall of the SELK church at the Moltkeplatz - had the opportunity to put forward questions, and to discuss in detail the artists´ plans and ideas.
