Starting point of the exhibition is the goal to transform the Domplatz in Klagenfurt/Koroška into a space where encounters and remembrance are facilitated, a space where resistance – in the past and present – is recognized and appreciated. Currently, a stone with a distorting and polarizing inscription about the role of partisans in second World War is dominating the narrative at the Domplatz. In 2022, a renowned jury initiated a process of a cricital artistic exploration of the place, the current memorial and possibilities of artistic interventions at the Domplatz. Following an invitation for proposals by the jury, ten artistic projects were developed. They propose a critical way of dealing with the current memorial stone and stimulate a contextualization of the history of the Domplatz. The selected projects are displayed for the first time at the Kunstraum Lakeside, In Spring 2023 they will be presented in public space in the inner city of Klagenfurt/Celovec vorgestellt.
Izhodišče razstave je pobuda, da celovški trg pred stolnico/Domplatz postane kraj srečanja in spomina, kjer zgodovinska in sodobna uporniška gibanja dobijo pozitiven in aktualen pomen. Kamen z napisom »V spomin na otroke, ženske in moške (…), ki so jih med drugo svetovno vojno in po njej ugrabili in umorili partizani«, postavljen leta 1990 in obnovljen leta 2002, trenutno zagotavlja vznemirljiv in osporavan spomin. Leta 2022 je bilo na povabilo priznane žirije razvitih deset umetniških projektov, ki predlagajo kritičen pristop k obstoječemu spominskemu kamnu in pozicajo h kontekstualizaciji zgodovine trga Domplatz. Izbrana dela bodo zdaj prvič predstavljena na razstavi v prostoru Kunstraum Lakeside, spomladi 2023 pa bodo sestavni del plakatne kampanje v mestnem prostoru v Celovcu.
