Not New York but Detmold...
Not saffron, but red and not a tribute to Christos "The Gates", but simply one of eight exhibits at the “Kultur-Weg” 2006, in Detmold. Just by coincidence, SCHOMBURG celebrate 40 Years of AQUAFIN, at the same time as West German Broadcast (WDR) Network celebrated its Golden Anniversary.
The University of Applied Sciences in Detmold, as culture partner of the WDR, undertook the task of creating an exhibition for the anniversary celebration with a cultural theme. We gladly supported the University with their task. From the imaginations of 2 architecture students, Mariola Garthof and Helene Penner, came the 50 red flags which fluttered in the breeze over Detmold for four months. This unique experience was enjoyed by all, not just the "Schomburgers."
