A sensational exhibition project will be realized in the museum rooms of the Hofburg Innsbruck from 21.09.2018 until 10.01.2019:
The original template (on cardboard) for the famous tapestry of the motif "Guernica" by Pablo Picasso (exhibited in the foyer of the United Nations) will be coming to Austria for the first time.
In the spirit of NeuroArt, Lucia N°03 offers visitors an experimental journey of peace as the end of the exhibition experience.
After almost 15 years of research by Italian curator Serena Baccaglini, the gouache on cardboard, owned by the heirs of weaver Jacqueline de La Baume Dürrbach, can now be made accessible to the public.
The imposing and visually stunning work in the original dimensions 3.50 x 7.10 m was created in 1955 by Pablo Picasso together with Dürrbach in Paris. The power of this work as an anti-war symbol is unique in human history. Pablo Picasso has thus created a motif for eternity.
Under the theme "Thoughts on Guernica", around 33 well-known contemporary artists from Austria and the Euregio area will discuss the theme of peace for this exhibition. Their works - also Lucia N°03 NeuroArt - form the important second part of this exhibition, as they act as bridge builders in the 21st century, ie in the present and can be understood as a strong collective appeal for peace.
