Ballet star Rebecca Horner brings art project All Eyes On Us to light

Rebecca Horner, an outstanding ballet dancer, is part of the innovative art project “All Eyes On Us” initiated by Franz Josef Baur. This project aims to have a deep dialogue about perception, presence and being seen. Loud oe24.at Horner will bring her special presence and vulnerability to create a new image of closeness and observation. Photographer Hilde van Mas works with Baur on a series of images that includes fragmented eye compositions, powerful portraits and expressive ceramics.

The central focus of the project is on the topic of gaze and observation. In a world full of stares, it addresses the feeling of being exposed. Baur describes Horner as impressive and highlights her body work, further deepening the artistic dialogue. The images resulting from this project are scheduled to be exhibited in June 2025 and are expected to generate significant interest.

Art in public spaces

The “All Eyes On Us” project is an excellent example of the growing importance of art in public spaces. Like the platform kubi-online.de emphasizes, theater halls, concert halls and museums have a responsibility to promote access to art and enable dialogue. Art projects that take place in public spaces aim to come into direct contact with the population.

Since the 1960s and 1970s, art movements such as Land Art and Public Art have used public space as a platform for creative expression. Examples of this include Dorit Ehlers' “Border Poetry” campaign, where citizens submitted photos of places that need change, or “Art for the Sky,” which creates gigantic images of people to raise awareness of climate change. These projects impressively illustrate how art not only offers aesthetic experiences, but also addresses social issues and stimulates reflection.

Art city tours

In order to draw attention to art in public spaces, the city's culture department organizes guided tours under the motto “Art in Public Spaces”. These will take place on November 12th. Two tours are planned: the first at 1 p.m. along the Dalke and the Botanical Garden, and the second at 5 p.m. through Gütersloh city center, where well-known and overlooked works of art will be discovered. The tours are free and last around an hour each, even in light rainy weather.

The organization of such tours shows the desire to promote cultural education also in non-institutional contexts guetersloh.de reported. Registration is possible via the Gütersloh cultural portal and everyone is invited to become part of this artistic journey of discovery.
