The augmented reality app "Art in the Castle Park" enables the viewing and examination of sculptures by the artists Markus Lüpertz, Per Kirkeby and A.R. Penck in the Coesfeld Castle Park. The sculptures were made using 3D scans and can be accessed via a scannable marker in the park.
The project "Sculptures in the Castle Park Coesfeld" is based on an idea of the Liebfrauenschule Coesfeld and builds a bridge between culture and technology in order to make important contemporary works of art accessible to schoolchildren and students as well as to the general public.
This exhibition project makes it possible to experience art independently of museum infrastructure and to understand art as an impetus for aesthetic perception and discourse. Viewing sculptures together and questioning their socio-political significance become part of school and city life and contribute to perceiving fine arts as an enrichment and to getting into conversation with each other.
The sculptures by the artists Per Kirkeby, Marus Lüpertz and AR Penck deal with humanity (Lüpertz), church structures (ARPenck) and creation (Per Kirkeby). They thus offer an impetus for taking one's own position on important areas of society.
Augmented Reality creates an extended reality in which digital works of art are inserted into analogue worlds (here the palace gardens of Coesfeld).
The new reality is created directly on the screen of the smartphone. Without the physical presence of the large works of art, it is nevertheless possible to encounter and contemplate the sculptures. The works of art become a virtual part of the public space and can be viewed via mobile phone from a wide variety of perspectives and positions after scanning a marker. Reality and digital space merge.
The technical level helps to facilitate access, since the exhibition takes place on familiar ground in the immediate vicinity of the school. Mental barriers, such as visiting a museum, which is often experienced as representing the elite, do not even arise. For disadvantaged schoolgirls, who rarely experience access to culture due to low financial resources, this project provides access to culture, building a bridge from the fascination of digital worlds on the cell phone to an active engagement with artistic forms of expression.
The sculptures by the artists Markus Lüpertz, Per Kirkeby and A. R. Penck were provided by the Michael Werner Gallery - Berlin/London/New York.
