The City of Brno has joined a project to revive the area in front of the White House on Žerotínovo Náměstí with a large-scale painting, part of the Asphalt Art initiative. The implementation of the project is sponsored by the Center for Central European Architecture (CCEA) in cooperation with TIC Brno.
The winning design is the concept by Patrik Antzak and Jakub Jahn, entitled “Vidím plno dobrých lidí” (“I see a lot of good people”). With the participation of students from the Brno University of Technology (BUT), a work will be created themed around colourful geometric ornaments and human figures.
Financing for the project is provided by a grant from Bloomberg Philanthropies of CZK 500,000, which covered the organisation of the competition and will cover the realisation of the artwork itself. The Brno-střed Municipal District is also participating in the project, with improvements to the garden in front of the White House. The project will be implemented at the end of May.
“The jury appreciated the free composition of the painting, which shows an open system of elements, and which can be elaborated and expanded further into the space,” said Yvette Vašourková from CCEA, explaining the selection of the winning design. Read More…
