Výtvarně-architektonická soutěž "Umělecké dílo pro kopec Vinice - Kolín"

The subject of the competition is a proposal for the artistic, material, and technical solution of an artwork of any artistic form, which will be placed in the public space of the town of Kolín on the Vinice hill. The artistic conception of the artwork and its compositional integration into the space of the Vinice hill is left to the free will and creativity of the authors. The artwork is understood in the terms of the competition as a distinctive artistic expression of certain qualities that reflects the present and is capable of communicating with the viewer and its immediate surroundings as a part of public space. The proposed artwork should be realized and installed permanently. The location of the artwork, Vinice hill with an elevation of 247.8 m above sea level, is situated on the outskirts of the town of Kolín towards the village of Ovčáry. The artwork to be designed here should be able to work not only with the context of the locality and its history but also with the new spiritual significance of this inconspicuous, charming, and hopefully increasingly important place in the future. The placement of the proposed artwork is not limited only to the top of the hill. The author can also consider the possibility of placing the artwork below the hill, on the slope of the hill, or even in a more complex integration of the artwork into the entire local space. The proposed artwork should further develop the locality of Vinice hill in an artistic way. Due to the decommissioned former waste dump, there is a limit to excavation of a maximum depth of 70 cm.
