15 statues, sculptures and objects in streets

by Michal Kašpárek on July 28, 2009

There is an interesting open-air art exhibition going on in Brno until August 31. You can “meet” works of 15 artists right in the streets. For more information, check the website of the Brno house of arts (PDF).

I like these objects:

Stones installed by Dalibor Chatrný at Náměstí svobody sq. remind the church of St. Nicolas, torn down in 1870.

Hotel Avion was designed in the 1920s by renowed architect Bohuslav Fuchs. Now it is decorated by Magdalena Jetelová, who made the hotel breathe air through these red sacks.

Thought that the stones are not an art but forever-memorial. ;-) Thanks.
