Art project and exhibitions"Munich s'ports the rainbow – Encounters without frontiers""Munich s'ports the rainbow" is the motto of the EuroGames 2004 and contains the message: "Munich supports the rainbow". The EuroGames are the biggest sporting occasion in our city until the soccer World Cup in 2006 – with over 5,300 athletes in 26 different sports and 20,000 visitors. The EuroGames culture team wants to present Munich as a cosmopolitan sporting and cultural city. The cultural week, extending beyond the days of competition, is intended to make associations between sport and culture in a form that has never been seen before in Munich. Dazzling accents will be set in a series of events and exhibitions, not just during the cultural week but extending from the end of June until August: The curator Matthias Schüßler, in cooperation with the EuroGames 2004, the Forum am Deutschen Museum, Galerie Ruf and the Schwanthaler School of Art, is organizing an art project with the title "Munich s'ports the rainbow – Encounters without frontiers", in which for the first time art and sport will melt together to provide understanding between cultures. FORUM am Deutschen MuseumFrom 26th June 2004 onwards, the artists Reinhard Fritz, Ingo Glass, Martina Kraus, Michael Likan, Jozef Melichercík and Carmen Sánchez Ruiz-Jiménez will be transmitting this message by means of their works of art in the FORUM am Deutschen Museum.
The theme "Rainbow" is taken up by Michael Likan with his landscape paintings and Carmen Sánchez Ruiz-Jiménez from Spain with her landscape photography. In her calligraphic works with speech symbols from many different cultures, Martina Kraus focuses attention on the terms "Tolerance" and "Acceptance". Further significant variations on the theme are developed by the well-known artists Reinhard Fritz and Ingo Glass. Ingo Glass is showing various sculptures in metal, in the three basic geometrical shapes and in the primary colors. "Encounters without frontiers" are also expressed by Reinhard Fritz with his compositions of differing objects and shapes in large-format works of glazed wood.
Rainbow Village / Olympic HallMartina Kraus, Michael Likan and Jozef Melichercík create a "bow" in the figurative sense, reaching from the FORUM am Deutschen Museum to the Rainbow Village in the Olympic Park. For the opening of the EuroGames on 29th July in the Olympic Hall, they are presenting three large-scale works which can be seen in the Rainbow Village during the games from 30th July to 1st August and following this in the exhibition at the FORUM am Deutschen Museum. Galerie Ruf am OberangerThe Galerie Ruf will be showing small-scale works by the artists in their own exhibition.
Schwanthaler Kunstschule (School of Art)For the EuroGames, the Schwanthaler Kunstschule is organizing a competition among its present and former students. Martina Bartel, Christine Boy, Nina Dollinger, Christina Gattermann, Rainer Gratz, Andreas Speranza, Andrea Wucherer, Anita Wucherer, Martina Zechel and other students will explore the topic in widely differing fields: drawing, painting, graphics, computer art and design. The Schwanthaler Kunstschule will be presenting the works in their own exhibition for the EuroGames.
