Artist in Residence Fanti Baum wins competition »Startsignale«
25 August 2022
Along with four other artists, Fanti Baum (Artist in Residence 2021/2022) and Sebastian Klawiter have won the »Startsignale« competition for art in public space of the Cultural Department of the City of Munich.
Their project »5.9.72 - heute kein Programm« is an artistic commentary referring to the assassination on the Israeli team at the 1972 Olympic Games. With the last sentence of the cultural program »Spielstraße« - a silkscreen print by Peter Mell, Hans Poppel, Uwe Streifeneder with the lettering »heute kein Programm 5.9.72« - they insist fifty years later that this event reaches into today. Baum and Klawiter affix the lettering to the roof of the grandstand of the regatta course in Oberschleißheim in bright letters, inviting the viewer to spend a lingering moment thinking of the events and victims of the 1972 assassination.
