Kőrösy sétány in Újbuda is set to become even more vibrant with the addition of new mini-sculptures and a unique street art wall. Scheduled for unveiling at the end of August, these new installations will enhance the aesthetic appeal and cultural significance of District XI.
Following the popularity of his mini-sculpture of a Corgi puppy named Ella, sculptor Antal Plank will introduce four new mini-sculptures to the area. These sculptures are designed to resonate with everyday life and include:
- A book, symbolizing constant learning and knowledge.
- An ice cream cone and a skateboard, representing youth and relaxation.
- A coffee cup, essential for social gatherings and meetings.
A modern street art wall will be created by the Colorfools team along the Kőrösy promenade. This wall will feature emblematic values of the district, reinforcing community spirit and neighborliness.
Melinda Szilágyi, Head of Operations, Allee Center "It's important for us to foster a great community experience and neighborliness in the 11th district, and also support art and culture, so we have added color to the promenade with mini-sculptures and a street art mural."
Antal Plank, Sculptor "I'm very happy that we could work together again after last year's successful project. The current collaboration works push the boundaries of the community space, as Allee is a large, spacious place where a lot of people come and go."
The new installations on Kőrösy sétány are expected to attract visitors and residents alike, offering a playful urban adventure and a modern artistic touch to the everyday life in Újbuda.
Objectives:
- Community Engagement: The new artworks aim to foster a sense of community and support local culture.
- Urban Aesthetics: By incorporating art into public spaces, the initiative seeks to make the neighborhood more livable and visually appealing.
- Encouraging Proper Use of Public Spaces: Similar to how Plank's sculptures on Széll Kálmán tér encouraged skateboarders to use designated skate parks, the new sculptures are intended to protect public spaces by promoting respectful use.
