About the
Event

Opening of the project "The Grand Cycle" by Markus Hiesleitner in Groß St. Florian in the context of OPEN FIELDS - Art and Agriculture.


OPEN FIELDS - Art and Agriculture

Reflections on the sensitive and diverse interaction between humans and nature have existed since prehistory in the form of art. The OPEN FIELDS project focuses on essential aspects at the local level, namely those of agriculture in direct contact with art. This meeting of two apparent opposites is to be given space and time in a respectful setting on equal terms and in critical examination.

The Grand Cycle

High mutual esteem of the artist Markus Hiesleitner and the sheep farmer Siegfried Pommer, intensive conversations, fathoming and delving into possibilities for the ecological treatment of nature, i.e., humans, animals and agriculture, shaped the artist’s stays in Groß Sankt Florian over the course of the year. This resulted in specific constructs from differentiated perspectives in a unique language of form and material, which, under the title "The Grand Cycle", addresses and opens the world as an interwoven whole, thereby providing completely new insights.
