SYMMETRY – HARMONY – UNITY

The fact that art in any form can only manifest itself in small steps is also the driving force behind the symposion at [kunstwerk] krastal, which was founded by Karl Prantl, Otte Eder, Heide Hildebrand, Felix Orsini Rosenberg, etc. and has been taking place for 57 years. The fact that everything began with a “workshop” and a “masonry symposium” is also an unmistakable sign that art can and must develop itself as a necessary foundation in human life. The focus of the [kunstwerk] krastal project is on this idea of building a global culture and a sustainable, peaceful coexistence of people with mutual respect. The founding history of the [kunstwerk] krastal association is closely linked to Otto Eder. Alongside Karl Prantl, Heide Hildebrand, Felix Orsini Rosenberg, etc., Otto Eder was one of the most important initiators of the first Krastal symposiums and founded the association BEGEGNUNG in KÄRNTEN - Werkstätte Krastal in 1970. – that was renamed in 2007 to [kunstwerk] krastal – sculpture | symposion | interdisciplinary projects . The 57th international stone sculptors' symposium in Krastal is therefore entirely dedicated to the association. This year's participants are drawn from the association's international membership. With 26 participating members, this year the interdisciplinary side of the association will also be the focus without neglecting the focus on stone sculpture.
