the occasion of the presentation of the competition "victims of Nazism - New forms of remembrance" in Munich, here again, a reference to my open letter of December 2008.

have already in my competition entry I noted critically that the refusal to define a place of memory, the basic problem of this contest was. This virtual memorial is an affirmation This immeasurable. Even then, I've
asked whether a virtual media project rather not be in the realm of oblivion as the moves of remembering. The city of Munich has now missed an opportunity: It was namely from the beginning of this competition is not a "formal" but a "physical" solution. It was whether the city of Munich the courage demonstrated a physical space for victims to make available - and not any, but with a weight! Since most of these places, such as the Royal Palace, created in the vicinity of the new Nazi documentation center, but not the city, but the Free State of Bavaria is one of the conflict once again a little more complex. It was therefore a bold decision with the political realities to deal! to "occupy" My decision to go with the king place one of the sore points in Munich had reason, it was expected, just as little chance of "success". It was important to me but because it would have been just the starting point of that discussion, which unfortunately failed to (and will probably never done). More seriously, therefore, that the hoped-for confrontation and then failed to public debate and everything was enveloped in a collective silence. This was not only Disrespectful to all participating artists over, there was a dramatic confirmation that Munich had failed on this issue.

So what can we expect from tomorrow's event at the Munich Town Hall Gallery? Besides the usual gestures of self-affirmation probably not much!
From the silence is hardly more than a more or less short-media noise.

Yet! Still less regard to the fundamental problem of this dubious Tender process and just such a jury decision that it would be worth discussing:
Some years ago have been conducted in Jerusalem at a similar theme, but with completely different circumstances, a fierce public debate. It was whether to install a webcam at the Wailing Wall or Zionist diasporic is ... You can guess which side of the coin in the KotelCAM lay there for many!
