11. Endangered World Life Wall
Xavier Cortada (USA)
This artwork is situated at the Hunebedcentre in Borger. About 10 km. from Schoonoord. A wall of boulders and bricks.
Xavier Cortada created "Endangered World: Life Wall" using 360 red bricks with stones deposited in the Netherlands by glacial forces during the last ice age. The work is a 2.1m x 8.5m wall created near the nation's largest neolithic gravesite at the Hunebed Center in Borger. The stones represent animals struggling for survival across 360 degrees. Depending on the hemisphere, the longitude where each animal lives is painted in red or white on each stone. When a species dies out, the number is painted black. The animals are part of an interconnected web that includes humans. How many stones can be removed before the wall of life comes tumbling down?
* (The 360 species were selected from the artist's North Pole Endangered World project, see http://www.xaviercortada.com/?EW_species).
The work is to be visited without the entrancefee for the centre.
