Modern Art

Warsaw, Poland

"The Ear of the City" - the installation made in 2010.
Author - Marek Dubiel, a student of Akademia Sztuk Pięknych (the Academy of Fine arts) in Warsaw.

The cambered tube is made of white painted tinware. On one end it has a small hole into which every passerby can whisper his/her message to the city.
On the other end there is a much bigger hole through which the message will spread all over Warsaw.
The inspiration to make the "Ear" was a desire to communicate with the city.

We all feel the urge to communicate with our city... this is a very interesting concept.

I like looking at modern sculpture - but wonder about it all - and the prices they charge!!

Very cool installation. Great for the challenge. You just don't want the wrong person at the small end of the tube. ;-)
