Public space intervention
AU… Ein Platz wird neu verhandelt
Aumannplatz, Vienna — Ernst Koslitsch at the installation
A temporary public-space intervention on Aumannplatz, Vienna, part of the project “AU… Ein Platz wird neu verhandelt” (A Place Renegotiated), organized by KÖR – Kunst im öffentlichen Raum Wien and presented by Kulturdrogerie. For the square, Koslitsch proposed a science fiction monument: an assemblage built from the square’s own street furniture — no-parking signs and railings bent into an organic, snake-like form — topped with a carved yellow bird from the Yellow Universe series.

Text
“My proposal for Aumannplatz is a science fiction monument, dedicated to the authors, filmmakers and artists who think about other and unusual realities, about alternative worlds and complex possibilities, and who assess and reveal future developments.”
