In 2011, after having received a request from the Salzburg Foundation to produce a Placement for a place of his choice within the city, Manfred Wakolbingers choice caused considerable surprise and a corresponding amount of resistance. The squalid stretch of riverside of the Salzach seemed insufficiently representative to the city council, but before Wakolbinger’s inner eye, just the appropriate connecting and upgrading aesthetic “disruption.” He was right: The sculpture Connections has transformed the dubious site into a popular meeting spot over the years. To him, this entails the deep meaning of art in public: Revaluation through a dialogue between architectural cityscape and artistic insertions in order to directly and positively affect a city’s society.
