PERMANENT INSTALLATION OF HORIZON FIELD VORARLBERG

»This magnificent work of art makes the relationship between us humans and nature tangible in a unique way. Its message is universal and timeless and at the same time tied to the place where it was created. Vorarlberg could expand its distinctive cultural profile with this internationally acclaimed work of art.«

»It is difficult to imagine another project that combines artistic significance, touristic appeal, ecological sustainability and socio-political relevance with the same explosiveness and distinctiveness.«

»Antony Gormley’s iron men have brought contemporary art to life in Vorarlberg and created invaluable added value for all visitors. That’s why I support the HORIZON FIELD association in its efforts to bring the fascinating iron men back to the beautiful mountain world.«

»Horizon Field Vorarlberg brings people into contact with art and allows us to perceive it as an indispensable part of our lives. The return of this unique and fascinating silent show would be a great enrichment for Austria as an art country.«

»The most difficult thing in design and art is to create a ‘good’ work that can convince both the experts and the masses. Antony Gormley’s Horizon Field Vorarlberg is one of those rare works that accomplish this in a wonderful way.«

»A landscape becomes a place through the project.«

»The Horizon Field Vorarlberg project strengthens Austria’s international reputation as a cultural nation by highlighting the connection between contemporary art and the Alpine landscape. The return of this outstanding work of art to Vorarlberg supports our efforts to position Austria in the eyes of culture-loving travelers.«

»The four-country region around Lake Constance offers a range of contemporary art comparable to that of a metropolis. The planned reinstallation of Antony Gormley’s artwork “Horizon Field” will add a pearl of international quality. It combines culture and nature and fits in with the trend that shows that art can also develop its expressive power in a non-urban environment. I am convinced that the realization of the project will have a positive impact on the infrastructure for contemporary art in the region.«

»The artistic value and global significance of Horizon Field contribute to the cultural and economic development of our region. This installation underlines the importance of Vorarlberg as the cultural center of the Lake Constance region and promotes the perception of our vacation region as a cultivated, high-quality and authentic recreational area.«
