The 🟣 PURPLE PATH 🟣 is a sculpture trail connecting Chemnitz, the 2025 Capital of Culture, with 38 towns and cities in the region. Numerous artists have contributed works of various kinds, telling a untold story of the region. More information at https://chemnitz2025.de/purple-path/ Friedrich Kunath "Include Me Out" in Buntsockenpark, Thalheim Material: Bronze Size: Height 2.38 m, Width 3.33 m Seven sculptures are reminiscent of stylized spruce trees with scaly bark. Six of them stand in a circle and appear to be clinging to one of the three branches that sweep out gracefully on either side. The sculptures feature faces with lowered eyelids, pointed noses, and the hint of a thoughtful smile on their thin lips. Sprengel Prize winner Friedrich Kunath, born in 1974 in Karl-Marx-Stadt, now Chemnitz, and living in Pasadena, USA, has placed a seventh tree sculpture outside the circle. Its lowered branches convey disappointment. Include Me Out (roughly: include me/exclude me) is the name the artist, who works with various media, gives his work, which only at first glance appears humorous and playful. Sculpture group. The famous, paradoxical statement by Hollywood film producer Samuel Goldwyn directly questions one's own position within this circle and touches on primal social and societal fears. Placed in the Buntsockenpark, which was part of a former stocking factory built by Bruno Neukirchner, the group of trees also recalls the concept of forest sustainability, which the Saxon chief mining officer Hans Carl von Carlowitz described in his 1713 work "Sylvicultura oeconomica." It states that only as much wood may be taken from the forest as can grow back. But today, there is mourning over millions of spruce trees that have died of thirst, the "bread tree" of German and Saxon forestry. The man-made climate catastrophe counteracts the sustainability strategy formulated over 300 years ago. (Text: Alexander Ochs / Ulrike Pennewitz)
