Material Interventions into Immaterial Landscapes
Intervention II: In the Still of the Night Angela Anderson (2021) Print, Postcards, Website
The second in series of site-specific interventions undertaken during my residency at Academy Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart, Germany, In the Still of the Night was planned as a site specific installation in the immediate vicinity of Academy Schloss Solitude, as counterpoint to the Kameraden-Gedenkstein, a monument commemorating German army soldiers from Stuttgart who died during their WWII assignments to various parts of Europe, including France and Poland. The sign was intended as a discursive intervention into the historical memory constructed by the war memorial, and as a statement against war and its glorification. The Stuttgart Department of Property and Construction did not grant permission for this project, citing reasons of sanctity and monument preservation.
