Maruša Sagadin: Fast legs (Marjetka), Bad mood without kiosk and kitchen (Juliana Three-Legged)

The sculptures Juliana and Marjetka by Slovenian artist Maruša Sagadin (*1978 in Ljubljana), who now lives in Vienna, combine colorful humor with a critical view of public space. Her works made of concrete, wood and lacquer are reminiscent of oversized boots or feet and - cartoonish and playful - invite you to take a seat. Along the Saxon Way of St. James, which also passes through Adorf/Neukirchen, they encourage people to question social and aesthetic conventions. The Göpel pyramid, which is brought to life every year at Christmas time by 24 Adorf residents in historical costumes, is located in the immediate vicinity. Like Sagadin's sculptures, it conveys identity through symbolism, craftsmanship and living customs. The result is a lively dialog between contemporary art and regional tradition.
