Description

The art project Horizon Field, better known as the 100 Iron Men, is entering a crucial phase. The landscape installation involves the erection of 100 iron figures at an altitude of 2039 m and over an area of 150 km2. The 100% privately funded art project is set to be established in 2026 in an area between Klostertal, Arlberg, Tannberg, Bregenzerwald, and Großes Walsertal.

100 landowners and 7 mayors have officially pledged their support for the reconstruction in writing. The project, which is an example of art in natural space and public space, is characterized by its large geographical scope (over 150 km2) and many stakeholders (landowners, municipalities, authorities, sponsors). Prominent national and international art experts have publicly advocated for the reconstruction of this masterpiece by Antony Gormley.

Otto Huber is the chairman of Horizon Field – Kunstverein Vorarlberg. The speaker will report on the previous path and outlook for the crucial phase of official approvals and political decisions. There will also be a preview of the exclusively private funding of the project through a crowdfunding initiative.
