>> MARIBOR <<
Installation and action July 14, 1991 – August 13, 1991, Schlossplatz – Ministry of Finance, Stuttgart
Steel structure, 25 granite stones, rubber, 4 fans, speakers
The installation was set up 20 days after the outbreak of the war in Yugoslavia (June 25, 1991, Slovenia's
declaration of independence). It served as an artistic protest against the omnipresent madness
of violence-based solutions, whether military or the result of international agreements.
Quote from the action text:
>> We work with computers, create virtual realities, wire the world. We send
our messages around the Earth, including the old one: Still an animal and not yet an angel.
Branko Šmon, born in Maribor, Slovenia. << July 1991
