Public artwork commissioned by the city of Kielce, Poland to commemorate the liquidation of the Kielce's ghetto and the murder of 20.000 deported Jews. Menorah is a site-specific work constructed from stainless steel and it represents an iconic symbol of Jewish faith, raising / sinking from authentic cobblestone collected from a street of the old ghetto. There was a center of Kielce's ghetto in the spot on which Menorah was placed, now it is a busy city street. Related information: Site: 22m x 6.m Menorah: L, 3,80m.

STATIONS |

 |
Along the sidewalk of Storgata Street in Porsgrunn, I created 6 stainless steel stations with decorated porcelain cylinders. Those cylinders rotate, if turned by hand, showing various sections of the images, and form random compositions. This public artwork is not a typical monument or sculpture but rather interactive street element (a stand) integrated with existing street fixtures and trees. It is an urban design of social dimension forming direct link between people, art and the environment, a record of History, Culture and Tradition. Marek Cecula |
