Memorial design by Horst Hoheisel and Andreas Knitz wins Jenas 2018 Botho Graef art prize. Liberty With their intriguing decentralised design, Erkundungsbohrungen (Exploration drilling), the artists Horst Hoheisel and Andreas Knitz today won the 2018 Botho Graef art prize, which is organised jointly by the city of Jena and Friedrich Schiller University Jena. The proposal for a decentralised memorial involves drilling holes with a 20-centimetre diameter through the outer walls of buildings that were important to the life and work of Eduard Rosenthal (1853-1926). A brass tube topped with thermal safety glass will be inserted into each hole and an inscription in the glass will explain the connection between Eduard Rosenthal and the building. The multi-location memorial is expected to be inaugurated in spring 2020. The city of Jena and Jena University will accompany the process of creating the memorial with a comprehensive communication plan. In addition to Hoheisel and Knitz, designs for a decentralised memorial to Eduard Rosenthal were submitted by Antonia Low, Michaela Melian, Patricia Pisani, Luise Schröder and the partnership of Renata Stih and Frieder Schnock.
