In 2011, Kunstundwohnen has the Düsseldorf-based artist Martin Pfeifle invited to realize an artistic work in the MIWO housing complex. Martin Pfeifle thereupon the project "RADO" developed for the Lutfridstrasse residential area.
At the beginning of July 2011, for the project "RADO" 64 black and white layered cubes made of neopolen foam placed on the lawn of the residential area. The cubes are intentionally recognizable as objects of utility and are adapted in shape and size to a seating cube. The viewer was asked to help determine where and how the cubes move on the premises of the residential quarter, whether there are seating groups at the entrances or patterns laid out on the meadows. The work of art has changed again and again during the two-month exhibition period due to the interventions of visitors and viewers.
Martin Pfeifle (born 1975 in Stuttgart) lives and works in Düsseldorf. He completed his studies at the Art Academy in Düsseldorf with Prof. Tony Cragg and Prof. Hubert Kiecol. The artist has received numerous awards and prizes, including a grant from the Villa Romana in Florence in 2010.
The works are represented by the catalog "Martin Pfeifle – RADO” documented.
At the request of the residents, the work will remain permanently in the Lutfridstrasse residential area.
