After more than thirteen years of collaboration with Studio la Città, on March 18, 2007, Herbert Hamak, invited by the Councilor for Culture Maurizio Pedrazza Gorlero and the director Paola Marini, will present a large-scale installation at the Castelvecchio Museum in Verona, which hosted Eisenman’s Garden of Lost Steps in 2004/2005.

The work consists of a series of 18 four-meter-long slabs embedded in the battlements: they are structures made of resin and pigment in a very intense blue, an ultramarine blue frequently used by the artist in his works.

The work is designed to interact with natural light in an architectural and historical context of great importance.

Hamak’s installation aims to be a minimally invasive intervention, but one that interacts openly with the space, the city, and the imagery that surrounds it. This intervention follows a large installation on the Romanesque façade of Atri Cathedral in 2003 and precedes an intervention at the Schnütgen Museum in Cologne.

The installation will be inaugurated on the occasion of the reopening of the walkways of Castelvecchio, following the current restoration. The Sculpture Gallery will host an installation by the artist.
