14 | D | Children creating a flag for peace | 21. – 29. April
Munich Germany | During the 3rd worldwide reconciliation week (from 21st to 29th April 2007) little ART unrolls a 100 m fabric in front of its Little Art Gallery in the Amalienstrasse at Munich as a carpet of reconciliation. About 200 children will simultaneously send off paper planes for peace from the windows of the adjoining houses. To put marks, in the literal and transferred sense – is one of the main objectives of Little Art and we wanted to express this once again by the project “children create a flag” This project took place for the first time on 27th May 2006 at the Olympic Hall at Munich, where the little “artists”, who came from all over the world, created the world’s longest peace message out of the 100 m white fabric. For 4 days the Olympic Hall changed into a huge studio offering enough place for about 3000 children enabling them to express themselves with brush and paint. Attended to by honorary working artists and pedagogues, the children could shape the fabric according to their wishes, dreams and fantasies. In the end they had created a gaily coloured and an imaginative painted flag which was given a worthy place in the context of a great and colourful conclusion ceremony: it was hoisted up at the Olympic Tower, the highest landmark of the city of Munich. Never before had it been allowed to fix an object there, the more impressing was this event, for which Munich’s Chief Mayor, Mr. Christian Due, took the patronage. | little Art e.V. organisation for children art worldwide Amalienstr. 41 / Rgb.

27 | CH | Exhibition: Living crosses | April 28. / 29., 2007
Ergosom-Centre, Nidau, Switzerland | Exhibition from a young artist who discovers crosses in unusual environments and then photographs them.. Crosses are to be found everywhere, where a horizontal line cuts a vertical one. A cross is somewhat an ordinary structure which is recognizable everywhere. Nevertheless it is a unique thing, because probably no other indication is as symbol-pregnant as the cross. Originally known as an old magic and healing symbol, the cross became a symbol for Christianity, being the execution equipment of the crucitixion of Christ and therefore was often associated with death. But the cross also stands for stability and harmony; the intersection can be noticed as power point and unity of the 4 cardinal directions. | Samuel Merz | |||
