Quote
The former director of studies Theodor Uebelhoer said in Wittmund in the summer of 2004 about this project:
- Works of art in public space are subject to different laws than works of art in museums. They stand at prominent points and are perceived by passers-by without being able to escape the effect of the works of art. But abstract representations allow several interpretations: we want the sculptures for you. .. bring closer. Discussions are welcome. We have chosen the location of the works of art with care. The room environment was given special consideration.
