The “K” on the map

On the BUGA Potsdam 2001 map all the works of art are signified by a black "K" in a white square. The black "K" in a white square was used as a symbol in the BUGA 1999 Magdeburg map. The symbol K cited in the map of the BUGA 2001 is meant to help the visitors locate all of the artworks on the BUGA grounds and reflect the art in itself and in context of cultured nature.

 

The “K” on the grounds of the BUGA

This symbol has been reconstructed to scale on the BUGA grounds. The Waldpark was selected as the location since it serves as a grown contrast to the precisely constructed pedestal sculpture. The surface of the concrete platform is covered with black and white street paint. Glass dust causes the surface to reflect light.
