Peter Noever: Art + Architecture

Die Grube / The Pit is a rigorously conceived and generously realized Land Art project near Lake Neusiedl in Burgenland, which exhibition maker and designer Peter Noever founded in an abandoned quarry in the early 1970s and has since developed as a work in progress. The monumental, multi-articulated ?park? site, in which the designed landscape and built architecture follow elemental geometric forms, is an enigmatic, archaic-looking place that overwhelms the visitor.00In addition to a series of artists? interventions such as those by Walter Pichler and Six & Petritsch, outstanding figures of the art and cultural scene such as Bernard Rudofsky, Carlo Scarpa, James Turrell and Achille Castiglioni have likewise dealt with Noever?s intervention in the Pannonian quarry landscape.0In this book, the provocative, indefatigable initiator and director emeritus of the MAK (Vienna / Los Angeles) reveals his intentions toward art and architecture in an in-depth conversation. In addition to a comprehensive inventory of this Land art project with previously unpublished drawings, photos, and documents, future projects are illuminated, scenarios designed to infinity.00The book out?of the blue ? Art + Architecture Out There provides a first opportunity to discover Peter Noever?s extensive oeuvre in Breitenbrunn, Austria
