10. art of #GlowingHorizons by Matthias Ritzmann, Halle Saale, I show you without a own pic, because you can see it at so many places in #Allstedt.
"The Photographer has captured portraits of young and old in Allstedt. He is presenting the more than 100 different portraits on large banners.."
"No. Yes. No. Yes. Who hasn't had such an argument? Sculptor Paula Wolber has installed a typographic installation titled "NOINDOCH: Ein Streitgespräch" (No No: A Dispute) on the roof of a 120-meter-long garage complex from the 1980s. For this, she glued and screwed numerous letters made of luminous Plexiglas in her Leipzig studio. In the end, there were 184 letters and 40 meters of type adorning the long garage roof. The words "No" and "Yes" alternate and are repeated – a seemingly endless argument with no prospect of a resolution."
Paula Wolber originally wanted to work with metal, but quickly discovered Plexiglas, which reveals a special luminosity in the sun and light. The artist leaves it open whether her argument is an internal monologue or a dialogue. Will the final answer be a no or a yes? With this artwork, Paula Wolber addresses conflict and agreement, also with humor, because the constant repetition in arguments often threatens to tip over into the ridiculous.
9. art of #GlowingHorizons in #Allstedt is a work by Paula Wolber, Leipzig.
"No. Yes. No. Yes. Who hasn't had such an argument? Paula Wolber has installed a typographic installation titled "NEINDOCH: Ein Streitgespräch" (A Dispute) on the roof of a 120-meter-long garage complex from the 1980s."

"Sculptor Michael Krenz has transformed a car, completely gutting it, and redesigned it into a work of art that "parks" in a parking space next to an old stone wall in Allstedt. With his installation, he aims to build a bridge between the present and the time of the Peasants' War. For him, the car is a symbol of freedom, individualism, and self-realization."
"The car is intended to resemble a war vehicle and simultaneously serve as a place of worship. The interior is fully developed. The sky shines through an opening in the roof. Thus, the car becomes a spiritual space, a place of hopes and desires. Sacred elements recall Müntzer's deep faith and power of conviction. Wings protrude from the roof."
8. art of #GlowingHorizons in #Allstedt is a car 🫣 by Michael Krenz, Halle Saale, titled "offroad"
"The car is intended to resemble a war vehicle and simultaneously serve as a place of worship. ..Sacred elements recall Müntzer's deep faith and power of conviction. Wings protrude from the roof."

"Julia Schleicher's thundercloud symbolizes times of change, marked by unrest, revolutionary ideas, and military conflicts. New ideas of justice and their implementation clashed with the existing order. From Müntzer's perspective, the social injustices were so serious that the tensions had to be released within the "cloud." Although the thunderstorm did not have the desired cleansing effect, in retrospect it revealed many injustices that led to significant changes."
7. art of #GlowingHorizons in #Allstedt is a work by Julia Schleicher, Halle Saale.
"..created a 20-square-meter relief of a thundercloud, which she attached to a historic natural stone wall in Allstedt. The relief extends beyond the wall, creating the impression that it reaches into the sky."

"Canadian artist Rebecca Belmore was inspired to create her own artwork during a visit to Allstedt. In 2023, she visited Allstedt Castle, which was just about to be renovated. Her installation "Noodin," which means wind in the Anishinaabe language, is modeled after a window in the Hofstube, the room at Allstedt Castle where Thomas Müntzer delivered the "Princely Sermon" in 1525. The funnel-shaped window is designed to allow as much light into the room as possible while minimizing heat escaping. It provides a view of part of the sky and amplifies the sound of the wind. In recreating this shape, Rebecca Belmore uses both visual and acoustic means. Detached from the castle walls, the narrow opening still offers a focused view of the sky."
Gusts of wind can be heard, rising and falling again. Visitors are invited to pause – to spend time looking closely and listening. Rebecca Belmore also used old wood in her installation, which had to be removed during the ongoing renovation work on the castle.
6. art of #GlowingHorizons in #Allstedt is called "Noodin" by Rebecca Belmore, Vancouver 🇨🇦 and you will hear the wind, cause "Noodin" is an anishinaabe word a. means wind.
"Gusts of wind can be heard ...Visitors are invited to pause – to spend time looking closely and listening."

"Textile artist Lisa Reichmann spent more than 500 hours of embroidery creating an impressive triptych with which she decorated a small chapel."
"The central element of the triptych is a large, open heart with a blue flower, symbolizing longing. On the sides of the triptych are two embroidered images from Allstedt: a slag heap and the overgrown area at the site of the former Mallerbach Chapel."
